Soldier in a Landscape (verso) (1825–50): Art, History and Details

Soldier in a Landscape (verso) (1825–50) is in the Cleveland Museum of Art collection. The museum's creator attribution is Carl Ludwig Tischbein (German, 1797–1855).

The work and its context

The museum's open-access catalogue describes the work:

From the early 18th to the late 19th century, the Tischbein family produced twenty-eight artists and artisans who were active in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Carl Ludwig Tischbein first went to Italy in 1819, and by 1825 he was a professor of drawing in the Academy of Rome. This charming view of rooftops and walled gardens is made more immediate by the presence of the cat.
