18th Century French or Swiss Military Watercolor, Signed and Dated
About the Item
Very interesting drawing of two soldiers in uniform one most likely French holding a rifle with bayonet and the other, Swiss, dressed in a fancy red outfit with codpiece and odd hat holding a menacing looking mace. Behind them on either side are burning castles and groups of soldiers with flagpoles topped by hats. At the bottom is a quote in French that, seems to translate to 'Our principles are the same law, death to tyrants, equality before the law- Love of country.'

- 1924 Propaganda Style Art Deco Drawing Switzerland and French Revolutionary WarsBy J. NusinkLocated in Lisse, NLUnique and original work of art about the history of Switzerland and France. This impressive and powerful work of art is definitely unique and interesting for many reasons. First of all, the style in which this charcoal drawing (with patches of watercolor) was made, is typical of the era and a joy to look at. Secondly, the posters of this era are rare and sought after, so to find an original drawing makes this antique extra desirable.
