"Hellebaardier" (Halberdier) is a lithograph created in 1855 by Théophile Victor Desclaux. The artwork depicts a soldier in full armor, holding a halberd. The soldier's pose and the detailed depiction of his armor highlight the importance of military figures during this time period. The lithograph is a good example of the artist's skill in rendering realistic details, capturing the soldier's proud stance and the intricate patterns of his armor.
