Item Details

Description
This expressive oil on canvas, signed J. Cusachs, depicts a young private in military uniform, animated in gesture and full of vitality. The artist captures the soldier in mid-motion, his navy tunic and striking red trousers rendered with naturalistic precision and an eye for human warmth. The composition reflects the discipline and youthfulness of early military life while revealing a subtle humor through the subject’s open stance and confident expression. Executed with controlled yet fluid brushwork, the painting combines strong tonal contrast and lifelike texture typical of late 19th-century realism. The muted background softly enhances the figure’s energy and detail, creating a dynamic and intimate portrait of character.
