Grenadiers Suisses / Zwitsersche grenadiers 1800 - 1833

"Grenadiers Suisses / Zwitsersche Grenadiers," a hand-colored lithograph created by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833, depicts five Swiss Grenadiers standing in formation. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed visual record of the regimental uniforms worn by these elite soldiers, showcasing their iconic tall bearskin hats with red plumes. This print, part of a larger series by Brepols, provides a valuable historical glimpse into the military attire of a significant European fighting force during this period.
