EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a young boy, dressed in the distinguished uniform of a Lance Corporal from the Preobrazhensky Regiment, towards the end of the 1760s. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous, yet their talent shines through in capturing every intricate detail. The Preobrazhensky Regiment was one of Russia's most prestigious military units during that era. This painting immortalizes a moment in time when this young grenadier guard proudly stood as part of an elite group dedicated to protecting and serving their country. The composition exudes classicism with its meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The oil on canvas technique adds depth and richness to the portrait, allowing us to appreciate every nuance of his expression and attire. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a significant period in Russian history. The marine battalion insignia on his hat reminds us of the Russian Imperial Guard's role as personal protectors for the Emperor himself. Beyond its historical significance, there is also an element of playfulness present within this artwork. The "Poteshnye Voiska" or "Fun Forces" known colloquially as Peter's Toy Army, highlights how even at such a tender age, children were involved in military training. Preserved by the State History Museum in Moscow, this print offers us a glimpse into both past traditions and youthful aspirations within Russia's imperial guard system. It serves as a testament to art's ability to capture not only physical appearances
