EDITORS COMMENTS
Jan Asselijn's captivating drawing, titled "Sitting Soldier," is a remarkable piece of Baroque era art hailing from the 17th century. This monochrome masterpiece, created using black and white chalk on blue paper, showcases the intricate details of a Dutch soldier's uniform during this period. The soldier is depicted in a seated position, his stern gaze fixed ahead, exuding an air of quiet determination. The clothing and apparel are rendered with meticulous precision, from the folds of the soldier's coat to the intricate patterns on his hat and waistcoat. The use of blue paper as a backdrop adds an element of depth and contrast, making the soldier's uniform stand out even more. This drawing is a testament to the rich fashion history of the Low Countries during the Baroque era. The soldier's uniform bears similarities to those depicted in the works of contemporary Dutch artists such as Cornelis Saftleven and Jan Saenredam. The "Sitting Soldier" is now a cherished addition to the collections of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the heritage and artistry of the Dutch Golden Age.
