The sitter is shown in the swagger uniform of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, which the Prince Regent had introduced after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

Thomas was the eldest son of Richard Oliver Gascoigne (d.1843) of Parlington Hall, who bought Lotherton in 1825. Richard was very wealthy and gave his son the best possible start to a career in the army by purchasing him an officer’s commission in 1826. However, Thomas never saw active service and predeceased his father in 1842.
