Soldiers in Uniform

Four soldiers dressed in uniform standing in a straight line.

This watercolor from the American War of Independence is by Jean Baptiste Antoine de Verger (1762-1851), a French artist who fought in the war as a sub-lieutenant in a French regiment and who kept an illustrated journal of his experiences in the war. The watercolor, which appears in the journal, shows the variety of soldiers fighting for American independence.
