Kozakken bivak 1813

"Kozakken bivak", created in 1813 by Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers, depicts a group of Cossack soldiers resting in a wooded area. The scene is likely set during the Napoleonic Wars, with the soldiers depicted in their traditional attire and armed with muskets. The artwork is a fine example of 19th-century military art, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting the details of military life. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the lives of soldiers during a time of war.
