Studie van een soldaat en twee kinderen met muziekinstrumenten 1829 - 1862

"Studie van een soldaat en twee kinderen met muziekinstrumenten" is an 1829-1862 lithograph by Jules-Robert-Pierre-Joseph Challamel (1813-1863). The print depicts a soldier seated on a bench with a young girl standing in front of him holding a musical instrument. Another child sits on the bench to the left of the soldier, also playing a musical instrument. In the background a woman in a long dress observes the scene. The artwork's composition is characteristic of Challamel's work, which often depicted scenes of everyday life in a light-hearted and sentimental manner. The use of detail and the depiction of the children's innocence make the artwork charming and engaging.
