Soldaten in uniform 1895

"Soldaten in Uniform" (1895) by Georges Hermann Rene Paul depicts three soldiers in uniform, their faces obscured by their hats. The lithograph captures the somber mood and sense of duty that characterizes military life. Paul's distinctive style, influenced by Impressionism and Symbolism, lends a melancholic air to the scene, emphasizing the weight of the soldiers' task. The work provides a glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers and reflects the anxieties of the late 19th century, a time marked by growing tensions and potential conflict.
