"Drie soldaten" is a small pencil drawing by Jean-Pierre Sylvestre de Grateloup, dating back to 1808. The artwork depicts three soldiers in simple line work, likely a study for a larger composition. Despite its diminutive size (45 mm high and 63 mm wide), the piece offers a glimpse into the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his interest in military subjects. The drawing is a testament to de Grateloup's skill in capturing the human form with precision and economy of line.
