1828
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Soldier's Birth Right is a 1828 ink by Rembrandt Peale, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a scene with three individuals. On the left, a young girl carries a large basket on her back, while a boy stands beside her. To the right, a man sits on a bench, wearing a military uniform and a tricorn hat. He holds a cane in his right hand and appears to be speaking to the children. The man's attire suggests a connection to the military, and his interaction with the children implies a sense of authority or guidance. The overall atmosphere of the scene is one of quiet contemplation, with the characters engaged in a subdued conversation. This image is reminiscent of the work of Peale, Rembrandt, an American artist known for his Romanticist style.
Rembrandt Peale (February 22, 1778 – October 3, 1860) was an American artist and museum keeper.
