Portrait of a First Lieutenant, Infantry

Wolff's Gallery

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright. He is positioned slightly to the side with his left hand resting on a marble pillar. The man has short brown hair and a full beard. He is wearing a dark blue military uniform with gold buttons and shoulder epaulettes, complemented by light blue trousers. In his right hand, he holds a dark hat, while a black belt with a gold buckle secures his uniform at the waist, and a sword hangs from it. White gloves cover his hands. The background features a scenic landscape with a river, greenery, and hills under a blue sky. The setting appears to be both indoors and outdoor, with a large brown curtain draping beside the pillar and a stone urn in the background.
