About this work

This faded drawing shows a soldier on horseback, holding a spear and a flag. The soldier wears armor and a helmet with a plume, and the horse is decorated with a saddle blanket. Above them, a winged figure floats, holding a banner with writing. In the background, a small building and a standing woman appear, but the paint is worn and cracked in places. The soldier’s name is written in Greek letters near his head. This drawing was made in 1808 by a Romanian artist. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style shaped art of the time.
