Hello
Why such painting is curiously identified as a so-called 'Austrian Pandurs' unit??
the cut and colour look like rather the Bavarian Army, not Austrian,
add to that, even if Kobell had painted Austrians and French, he is Bavarian
which regiment (of the Bavarian Army I think) appears here?
I don't undertand why two on the left are in grey than light blue, maybe an accidental decoloration of the painting after two centuries

Thank you gentlemen for the confirmation, quite bizarre to find a such caption in this catalogue...
They look Bavarian, as there are two Grenadiers there (front and back middle) in blue plus the one with he faded jacket. There were no regulations on what an Austrian regimental band looked like at this time, as it was paid for by the Inhaber. They usually had reverse colours, but no Grenz regiment had mid-blue facings. I think the 'Pandurs' are just a mistake in the catalogue. In the back left, you can see two infantry of the Austrian regt 3 or 4 as they have sky blue facings.
