"En dansk Husar" (A Danish Hussar) is an etching by Danish artist W.A. Müller, dating back to 1762. The artwork portrays a soldier in profile, wearing a distinctive fur-lined hat with a long tassel and a striking, braided mustache. The image is a testament to Müller's skill as a draftsman, capturing the detailed clothing and facial features with precision. This print, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the fashion and military attire of 18th-century Denmark.
