Siddende soldat 1850 - 1908

"Siddende soldat" is a pen and ink drawing created by Frants Henningsen between 1850 and 1908. The artwork depicts a seated soldier in a melancholic pose, leaning on his rifle. The soldier is dressed in a uniform with a backpack and a scarf wrapped around his neck, suggesting a cold environment. This poignant portrayal of a soldier in repose, likely reflecting the hardships of military life, is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The artwork's intimate size and detailed execution add to its evocative power.
