K. baierische Infanterie (Bavarian Infantrymen) is a 1816 ink by Johann Adam Klein, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows six soldiers in old-style uniforms, standing in a line. They wear tall hats with feathers, white jackets, and carry rifles or swords. One soldier kneels in the back, holding a drum. The ground is rough, and a building with steps sits behind them. The text at the bottom says "K. baierische Infanterie," which means these are Bavarian soldiers. The artist used a mix of dark lines and white highlights to make the scene pop.
