Light Infantry, Standard-Bearer 1830 - 1833

This lithograph by Auguste Raffet, titled "Light Infantry, Standard-Bearer," portrays a single soldier standing in front of a group of troops. The soldier, likely a standard-bearer, holds a flagpole with a flag that appears to have been partially torn. The soldier is depicted in a detailed and realistic manner, capturing the intricate details of his uniform and the expression on his face. The lithograph is a fine example of Raffet's work, which often depicted scenes of military life and the French army during the 19th century. Raffet was known for his ability to capture the drama and excitement of these scenes, and "Light Infantry, Standard-Bearer" is a testament to his skill. The lithograph is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
