Kroning van een militair (in doos met 43 tekeningen) 1703 - 1775

"Kroning van een militair (in doos met 43 tekeningen)" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Louis Fabritius Dubourg, dated between 1703 and 1775. The circular composition depicts a scene of a military figure kneeling before a woman, likely a goddess, as she crowns him. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Dubourg's skill in capturing the details of classical dress and the solemnity of the occasion. The discarded military accoutrements in the foreground hint at the transition from war to peace symbolized by the crowning.
