Waardin presenteert drie soldaten de rekening 1830

"Waardin presenteert drie soldaten de rekening" (The Innkeeper Presents the Bill to Three Soldiers), a lithograph by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, depicts a humorous scene of three soldiers being presented with their bill at an inn. The work, created in 1830, is a poignant example of Charlet's signature style, which often portrays the everyday life of French soldiers. This small-scale work captures the lighthearted camaraderie amongst soldiers in the midst of war. The scene is set in front of a rustic inn, with the soldiers appearing to be in good spirits despite the bill. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers viewers a glimpse into the daily life of the French military in the early 19th century.
