Buste van een krijgsman 1811 - 1867

"Buste van een krijgsman" is a pencil drawing by Christiaan Wilhelmus Moorrees, completed between 1811 and 1867. The artwork, measuring 77 mm in height and 55 mm in width, depicts a bust-length portrait of a soldier wearing a helmet. The simple lines and light shading of the drawing contribute to its intimate and austere character, typical of Moorrees's work. The artist's focus on capturing the subject's likeness in a naturalistic style is evident in the detailed portrayal of the soldier's features and attire. This drawing is a testament to Moorrees's ability to create expressive portraits with minimal means.
