Soldaat staat model voor schilder in zijn atelier c. 1830

"Soldaat staat model voor schilder in zijn atelier" (c. 1830) by Michel Mourot depicts a humorous scene of an artist painting a soldier in his studio. The artist is seated, palette in hand, while the soldier stands stiffly, rifle in hand, as if he is on duty. The artist's studio is cluttered with various objects, including a bust, a painting on an easel, and a dog. The print is a charming glimpse into the life of an artist in the 19th century, using satire to portray the awkwardness of having a soldier as a model.
