About this work

This sketch shows a soldier marching forward, dressed in a bright red coat with gold trim and blue sash. His white pants have yellow stripes, and he wears a tall hat with a red feather. He carries a long rifle over his shoulder and looks like he’s walking on a stone path. The drawing is loose and quick, almost like a sketch made on the spot. The colors pop against the plain background, making the soldier stand out. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
