This lithograph by Frédéric Bouchot, titled "Zoeaaf verkleed als bruid haalt een grap uit met een Franse soldaat," depicts a playful scene between a French soldier and a Zouave soldier dressed as a bride. Created before 1860, the artwork captures the lightheartedness and camaraderie of soldiers during a period of peace.
