Russische soldaten pauzeren aan de rand van de weg 1840

"Russische soldaten pauzeren aan de rand van de weg", a lithograph by Auguste Raffet, depicts a group of Russian soldiers taking a break by the side of a road. The scene is likely set during the Crimean War, a conflict that raged from 1853 to 1856. The soldiers, clad in their uniforms, are relaxing and tending to their equipment. The image is detailed and realistic, reflecting Raffet's reputation as a master of military art. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
