unspecified
From the collection of National Gallery of Ireland
A Soldier is a 1890 unspecified by Alphonse de Neuville, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a soldier in a dark blue uniform, holding a yellow flag in his right hand. He is wearing a cap and has a rifle slung over his shoulder. The soldier is standing on a dirt road, with a light-colored background behind him. The soldier's uniform is adorned with gold buttons and a white sash around his waist. His face is serious, and he looks like he's on a mission. The yellow flag he's holding has a black emblem on it, but it's not clear what it represents. The painting is detailed and realistic, with a focus on the soldier's uniform and equipment. It's a great example of 19th-century military art.
