"Staande soldaat leunend op zijn geweer" (Standing soldier leaning on his rifle) is an etching created by Dutch artist Anthonie van den Bos between 1778 and 1838. The artwork features a detailed depiction of a soldier in full uniform, holding a rifle and leaning on it casually. Van den Bos's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the soldier's attire, including his tall hat, fur-trimmed coat, and boots. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch etching, portraying military life in a realistic and detailed manner.
