I have an old ink and watercolor painting. Its called 1er empire Hussards 2c Reg. It's a soldier on a horse. It is signed but for the life of me I can't make out the artiist name. Looks like Syveldy and one have an idea that might point me in the right direction. Thanks

I think the word is "Hussar".

If you are able to post a photo of the painting, it would be most helpful.



Edited to add:
I think Hussard is the French version of the name.
