Description
A soldier in the midst of dressing, captured in an unguarded moment. The subject and style are suggestive of Drost but stylistically ambiguous.
Analysis
The genre subject and loose brushwork show similarities to Drost's known work, but the anatomy and composition lack the refinement typical of his confirmed pieces. It may be the work of a contemporary or follower.
