"Soldaat met geweer" (Soldier with a Rifle) is a detailed etching by Johannes Steyn, a Dutch artist, showcasing a soldier standing with his rifle at the ready, positioned near a cannon and another figure. The scene, likely set during a wartime event, is rendered in meticulous detail, highlighting the artist's skill in capturing the intricate textures of uniforms, weaponry, and the surrounding landscape. The etching's small size (101 mm x 65 mm) speaks to its intimate nature, allowing the viewer to focus on the soldier's posture and expression.
