1850
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
An officer in military uniform is a 1850 watercolor by George Richmond, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a watercolor portrait of a young man in a military uniform. His collar is stiff and starched, with a white stripe down the front. The face is serious, with dark hair curling around the ears and a pale complexion. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on him. The artist used soft brushstrokes, especially on the face, which gives it a gentle look. The edges of the uniform fade into the background, almost like a shadow.
