Infanteriofficer is a 1807 unspecified by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in a bright red coat with blue cuffs and gold buttons. His tall black hat has a white feather sticking up. He’s wearing light yellow pants, black boots, and holds a cane in one hand while resting the other on his hip. A sword hangs at his side, and the background is plain white. The gold buttons and feather suggest he’s a military officer. The outfit looks formal, like something worn for a portrait or parade. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style used bold colors and dramatic details.
