Twee meisjes en een soldaat op de aanlegsteiger bij Calais 1827

Victor Adam's "Twee meisjes en een soldaat op de aanlegsteiger bij Calais" (1827), depicts a lively scene on the docks of Calais, France. The artwork features a group of people on a pier, with two young women in traditional dress, a soldier in uniform, and a man looking through a telescope in the distance. Adam's meticulous detail captures the bustling atmosphere of the port and the vibrant colors of the clothing worn by the individuals. The work is a beautiful example of 19th-century French realism, with a focus on capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people.
