Staande Franse soldaat 1795

"Staande Franse soldaat" is a 1795 etching by Dutch artist August Christian Hauck. The artwork depicts a French soldier standing with his rifle in his left hand, with a relaxed yet wary expression. The soldier wears a distinctive cap, coat, and boots, all hallmarks of French military attire during the late 18th century. The etching's simple composition emphasizes the soldier's figure against a blank background, allowing Hauck to capture the details of the military uniform in sharp detail. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
