Soldat med gevær 1629 - 1676

"Soldat med gevær" (Soldier with a Gun) is a drawing by Johan le Ducq, created between 1629 and 1676. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a soldier in detailed attire, holding a musket. The drawing is rendered in a simple palette of browns and golds, creating a sense of depth and texture. This detailed representation of a soldier is typical of the Baroque period, reflecting the era's interest in realism and capturing the grandeur of military power. The drawing is a valuable glimpse into the fashion and military practices of the 17th century.
