And here's a close up at the Soldat Jean de Dieu:
Tumblr media
I couldn't find any information about him unfortunately because when I searched at his name I've found a similar name and it was for one of napoleon's marshals so idk .. and the name was Jean-de-Dieu Soult

And finally a close up at Charles de Sombreuil:
Tumblr media
Ok now this is a very interesting one
To be honest with you all I don't know which Charles de Sombreuil are appearing here because there's two Charles de Sombreuil
The first one is: Charles François de Virot Marquis de Sombreuil [ 1723 - 1794] he got guillotined in paris And he was a lieutenant-general in the French Revolution 
This is his portrait:

And the second one:Charles Eugène Gabriel de Virot de Sombreuil [ 1770 - 1795] he was shot in Vannes for his participation in the Quiberon expedition in an attempt to land emigrants in Brittany.
And he is the son of Charles Virot de Sombreuil
The story of Charles Virot de Sombreuil and his son gabriel Sombreuil is a long story and both had encountered with lazare Hoche and tallien in some way especially during the time of Quiberon expedition so this illustration maybe relate to something during that time .. I don't know to be honest.
Side note:[ the quality of this illustration is very high ].
