EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "Sketch of military uniform, 1827. Sapeur ligne. Infanterie legere 1827," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist, Auguste Raffet. The artwork depicts a standing figure from behind, dressed in the military uniform of the Light Infantry of the Sapper Line from the year 1827. The soldier is shown wearing a bearskin hat, a knapsack, and carrying a sabre and cartridge case. A rifle is slung over his left shoulder, and an axe is held in his right hand. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of the sketch are evident in the way the fabric of the uniform drapes over the figure's body, the textures of the bearskin hat and the leather of the equipment, and the realistic rendering of the rifle and axe. The use of chalk and watercolor on paper adds to the authenticity and depth of the artwork. This sketch is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the military uniforms and equipment of the early 19th century. It is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of the time, reflecting the fashion and traditions of the Low Countries and Europe during the nineteenth century. The scene is set against a neutral background, allowing the focus to remain on the figure and the intricacies of the uniform and equipment. The rear view perspective adds an element of mystery and intrigue, inviting the viewer to imagine the story behind the soldier and his role in the military. This artwork is a must-see for anyone with an interest in military history, art, or fashion clothing. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
