Jonge en oude gestorven krijger before 1759

"Jonge en oude gestorven krijger" (Young and Old Dead Warrior) is a pair of drawings created before 1759 by Christian Bernhard Rode. They are part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Each drawing depicts a profile portrait of a warrior, one young and the other old, framed by ornate designs. The drawings exemplify Rode's masterful use of line and shadow to evoke both the physicality and the emotions of his subjects, offering a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the universality of the human experience.
