Twee studies van een soldaat 1842

"Twee studies van een soldaat" (Two studies of a soldier), created in 1842 by Pieter van Loon (1801-1873), features two detailed drawings within a framed setting. The drawings, executed in black chalk, depict the heads and shoulders of two soldiers, capturing their expressions with precision. The framed composition highlights the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Loon's skill as a draftsman and his interest in military subjects.
