The painting of Other Ranks 1853 by Daniel Cunliffe has this figure of a regimental piper which is unfortunately squeezed between two others so that his uniform cannot be seen clearly. The jacket he wears appears to be the same pattern of doublet as shown in the MacIan painting of 1852. The cuffs are gauntlet-style and there is a glimpse of the Inverness skirts just below his hands. He has a black leather shoulder-belt worn over his shoulder plaid with silver buckle, tip and slide. The sporran agrees with that worn by the piper in 1852, and the red ribbons on his hose are clearly shown. His glengarry cap is smaller than the undress caps worn by two figures in the Cunliffe painting. Pipers only wore this style of cap, and never wore the ostrich feather bonnet. This painting shows two eagle feathers in his cap, but other images of pipers of the 79th show only one. The Union flag behind his head indicates that he has a pipe-banner attached to the drone pipe.
