Krijger met helm 1825

Eugène Delacroix's "Krijger met helm" (Warrior with helmet) is a charcoal drawing from 1825, housed in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a warrior in profile, wearing a helmet and looking intensely forward. The drawing is characterized by Delacroix's signature bold strokes and expressive use of light and shadow, giving the warrior a sense of monumentality and power. This piece reflects Delacroix's interest in historical subjects and his skill in conveying emotion and character through line.
