"Gewonde soldaat" (Wounded Soldier) is an etching by Dutch artist Dirk Maas, created between 1710 and 1717. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a fallen soldier in a realistic and detailed manner. Maas's etching focuses on the figure's contorted body and the expressive details of the soldier's face and clothing. The piece is a powerful reminder of the brutality of war, reflecting the grim realities of military conflict.
