Garder is a 1807 unspecified by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a single soldier standing tall in a bright red coat with white cuffs and buttons. His gray pants have gold trim, and he wears a tall black hat with a white plume and a blue feather. He holds a rifle on his right shoulder, and a sword hangs at his side. The soldier’s uniform looks crisp and detailed, almost like a fashion sketch. This kind of image was often used to show off military dress from the time. Next, check out uniform designs from the same era to see how they changed.
