I think it is the angle of the photograph.  Not quartered but a red cross dividing up the quadrants with the Union jack in the upper quadrant nearest the staff.  At least, I believe that is the case.  And maybe a wreath we can't see in the center.
Looks like a black and red quartered flag to me .

I can see how you see that, but below the Union Jack there's a horizontal strip of black (on screen about ~12mm wide by ~5mm high) and above the officer's head on the left of the photo there's a small triangle of black too.

At some point during the Napoleonic Wars, some (if not all) regiments with black facings adopted a white field for the regimental colours, and white coats for their drummers.  As a result there is often confusion about whether this trend stretched back as far as the AWI, but it did not, so the colours and musicians' coats here are accurate.
No plan survives first contact with the dice.

 Great work on the small clothes and the lace as well.

Gentlemen, on closer inspection , I now see that it’s not a quartered flag . My apologies.
