Soldaten unterwegs is a 1655 oil by Philips Wouwerman, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a lively scene of people and horses in a landscape. In the foreground, a man on horseback is surrounded by others on foot, some with horses, while a tent is visible in the background. The artist has used a range of colors to bring the scene to life, from the earthy tones of the landscape to the vibrant hues of the clothing and horses. The brushwork is detailed, with visible textures and shading that add depth to the image. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique.
