"Members of the City Troup and other Philadelphia Soldiery" is a watercolor painting by American artist John Lewis Krimmel, known for his genre paintings depicting everyday life. This artwork captures a moment of military life in Philadelphia, likely during the War of 1812. The painting depicts a company of soldiers, some in blue uniforms, others in red, standing in formation with a drummer and a flag bearer at the front. The details in their uniforms, including the hats and weaponry, highlight Krimmel's attention to historical accuracy. While the scene is not overly dramatic, it offers a glimpse into the military culture of the era, and the dedication of ordinary people to their nation.
