Beautiful paint of Prussian Staff in 1871. Who they are?

Hello everybody. I've found this paint, surely of Anton von Werner, of the Prussian Gen. Staff during the war of 1870-1871 in Versailles. From left to right, I can identify Bismarck, war minister Von Roon, Moltke, Wilhelm I, ??????, Prince Friedrich, and ??????

Can anyboy identify these two generals? Maybe Manteuffel and Blumenthal?

That's Blumenthal on the end. That could well be Manteuffel to the left of the Crown Prince. Moltke looking at v. Roon.

Hi Glen, is it possible that the man 3rd from left is Theophil von podbielski? http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/ ... p?t=460697

Many years ago I saw a sketch by von Werner of the salon of Villa Les Ombrages, the HQ of the Crown Prince during the Siege of Paris. It shows Blumenthal (my great great uncle) in an armchair holding a cigar, chatting to Bismarck.

But I can't find it! Has anyone seen this sketch?
