Albumblad met diverse voorstellingen 1814 - 1869

"Albumblad met diverse voorstellingen" is an album sheet of various sketches by Alexander Cranendoncq, a 19th-century Dutch artist. The album sheet, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts multiple figures of military personnel in various poses, including standing, marching, and holding rifles. Cranendoncq likely created these sketches as studies for larger works or as a record of military uniforms and postures, offering a glimpse into the artist’s creative process and meticulous observation of detail. The graphite drawings on paper capture the dynamism and formality of military life in the 19th century.
