Man met onderscheiding groet soldaat c. 1837 - 1849

"Man met onderscheiding groet soldaat," a lithograph created by Jean-Julien Jacott between 1837 and 1849, depicts a humorous scene of a man in civilian dress, hat in hand, being greeted by a soldier in full uniform. The artwork likely reflects the social and political climate of 19th-century Europe, where distinctions between civilian and military life were pronounced. Jacott's meticulous detail captures the expressions of the figures, bringing to life the humor and satire of the scene. The artwork is a fine example of Jacott's ability to capture everyday scenes with a keen eye for detail and a touch of whimsy.
