Officers at Cobham Camp is a 1854 watercolor by Lami, a Impressionism work, depicting Uniform, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two soldiers in bright red coats with black belts and gold buttons. One holds a flag with blue and red stripes, while the other carries a bag and a long rifle. Their uniforms look stiff and formal, with shiny boots and tall black hats. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. This style was common in watercolors of the time. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
