Tamboer-majoor spreekt zijn ongenoegen uit over de tamboers 1830

"Tamboer-majoor spreekt zijn ongenoegen uit over de tamboers" (1830) by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, depicts a scene of a French military officer scolding his drummers. Charlet, a prolific artist and illustrator known for his satirical and poignant portrayals of Napoleonic-era military life, captures the tension between the commanding figure and his subordinates. This lithograph, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a prime example of Charlet's keen observation of military social dynamics and his signature use of dry humor.
