Soldaat slaapt op stoel bij raam 1829 - 1897

"Soldaat slaapt op stoel bij raam" (Soldier Sleeping on a Chair by the Window) is an etching created by Carel Frederik (II) Bendorp between 1829 and 1897. The artwork depicts a soldier, dressed in uniform, asleep in a chair. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, illuminated by a window that casts a strong light on the soldier's face. The light and shadow create a dramatic contrast, drawing attention to the soldier's peaceful slumber. This piece exemplifies Bendorp's skill in depicting everyday life in a realistic and intimate manner, making it a compelling study of human vulnerability and rest in a historical context.
