A Solider of th 79th Highlanders Cobham Camp is a 1854 watercolor by Lami, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a soldier standing outdoors, holding a rifle. He wears a tall fur hat, a red jacket with white trim, and a blue plaid skirt. His boots are black, and he has a pouch and a small bag slung over his shoulder. The background is faint, with some bushes and a pale sky. The artist focused on the soldier’s uniform details, like the buttons and fabric folds. The colors are bright but slightly faded, giving it a soft look. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
This artist left a quiet record of 19th-century life in watercolor, mostly scenes of British soldiers and buildings.
