Der junge Soldat

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, um 1880

This painting shows the full body of a person leaning against a wall. The person is standing with one hand in their pocket and the other holding a thin brown pipe near their mouth, their body turned to the right, their head facing us. They have fair skin and short dark hair under a small red cap. The person is wearing a dark coat with gold buttons and bright red pants. The coat has a high yellow collar. The background consists of muted green tones with a stripe of brown at the bottom, perhaps suggesting a wall with wainscoting. In the top right corner are dark blue and reddish forms that seem to indicate either a piece of art or a window that shows objects or people. The brushstrokes in the painting are visible, giving the scene a fuzzy appearance.
