Zittende soldaat 1900 - 1910

"Zittende soldaat" (Sitting Soldier) is a black and white drawing by Dutch artist Johan Gerard Sinia, created between 1900 and 1910. The artwork depicts a soldier in a wide-brimmed hat, seated amongst foliage, holding a rifle, with a river and hills in the background. This small-scale work, measuring only 152 mm by 140 mm, showcases Sinia's talent for capturing detail and creating a sense of atmosphere. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching adds depth and dimension to the scene, lending a realistic feel to the soldier's form and the natural landscape.
