EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a standing soldier from the Garde Francaise in the 18th century. The artist, Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen, skillfully used red chalk and graphite to create this remarkable piece of art. Measuring at 9 7/16 x 6 5/16 inches (24 x 16 cm), this drawing thoughtfully captures the essence of Antoine Watteau's influence. The soldier depicted in the image is part of the French Guardsmen, known for their impeccable discipline and bravery. Eisen's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously engraved every aspect of the soldier's uniform and stance. This illustration was later featured in a military manual titled "Positions des Soldats de l'Infanterie pendant la Manoeuvre du Fusil" published in Paris between 1751-1752. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated as it provides us with valuable insights into the military practices during that era. It serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to maintaining an elite army. Artokoloro has done an exceptional job preserving this masterpiece through their meticulous printing process. Their dedication to showcasing renowned artworks like these ensures that future generations can appreciate and study them extensively.
