A masterful oil on canvas portrait by Thomas Gainsborough, depicting brave and honest Baron Munchausen, waving cavalry broadsword over his head fiercely while riding a small cannonball, flying over a 18th century fortress under siege; gunpowder smoke and flashes of gunfire below, bright noon sky with fluffy clouds above. Ginger-haired Baron Munchausen wears bristling mustache, scarlet doublet, white leggings, jackboots boots with spurs, gold-embroidered baldric, long scabbard on the side, and black three-cornered hat with a feathery white border. A small cute bird above him stares at Baron Munchausen, while looking dumbfounded and confused.
