About this work

This drawing shows a soldier standing straight, holding a tall rifle. He wears a dark hat with a feather, a red scarf, a black jacket, and light brown pants tucked into tall boots. A sword hangs at his side, and his belt has a small metal box. The soldier’s pose is stiff and formal, like a uniformed man posing for a record. The colors are simple: darks for the uniform, light for the pants, and a plain background. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style used emotion and drama in art.
