A Soldier is a 1870 unspecified by Alphonse de Neuville, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
The painting features a soldier standing in the foreground, dressed in a dark uniform and cap, with a rifle slung over his shoulder. He is positioned on a dirt path, with a group of soldiers visible in the background, some on horseback. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. In the distance, a few trees and a body of water are visible, adding depth to the composition. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Alphonse de Neuville.
Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville (French pronunciation: ; 31 May 1835 – 18 May 1885) was a French academic painter who studied under Eugène Delacroix.
