Albaanse strijder uit het Ottomaanse leger 1857 - 1905

This etching, "Albaanse strijder uit het Ottomaanse leger" by Nikolay Semyonovich Mosolov, depicts a solitary Albanian warrior, likely a member of the Ottoman army, in a somber pose. The figure, rendered with intricate detail, holds a spear and gazes downward, conveying a sense of introspection or weariness. Mosolov, a prominent Russian artist, created this artwork between 1857 and 1905, a time when interest in depicting historical and military subjects was prevalent. This artwork is a fine example of Mosolov's skill in capturing both the physical and emotional aspects of his subjects.
