Military Hospital at Lefortovo 

Fyodor Alekseyev’s "Military Hospital at Lefortovo" depicts a sprawling complex of buildings set against a cloudy sky. The detailed architectural rendering showcases the symmetrical facades of the hospital, while the foreground focuses on daily life with figures, carriages, and horses traversing the grounds. This watercolor, likely a commissioned work, provides insight into the architecture and daily life of a military hospital in Russia during the late 18th or early 19th century. Alekseyev, born around 1753, was a notable artist in the era, known for his architectural and landscape drawings, offering a glimpse into Russian life through his detailed compositions.
