This detailed hand-colored etching by Swiss artist Antoni Zürcher depicts two soldiers from the 29th Swiss Regiment. Zürcher was known for his meticulous illustrations of military uniforms, and this artwork is a prime example of his work. The figures are presented in a formal, almost scientific manner, highlighting the specific details of their uniforms and equipment. This artwork, created in 1823, serves as a valuable historical record of military fashion and provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the early 19th century. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
