Soldaten met spin 1900 - 1910

"Soldaten met spin" (Soldiers with spider) is a drawing by Dutch artist Johan Gerard Sinia, created between 1900 and 1910. Depicting two soldiers in a rocky landscape, the work suggests a scene of military life and possibly a moment of respite. Sinia's use of ink creates a sense of depth and detail, capturing the textured surfaces of the rocks and the figures' clothing. The small scale of the work, measuring just 151mm x 152mm, adds to its intimacy and intimate focus on the subject.
