Odulf Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 A Cabinet size portrait of an Imperial private soldier with a medal, from Moscow. Can any one give details, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 details?!??....well, for starters....he's standing. OK, OK. no fooling around....Great shoulderboards. Someone should be able to id the unit. I would like a better/close-up of the medal. Maybe there is something there. Interesting that he is holding a book. Could be just a photographic affection, but many times things held by the subjects are there for symbolic reasons. A student? A scribe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
