Jean-Victor ADAM dit Victor ADAM
Paris, 1801 - Viroflay, 1866
The Zouaves
Watercolor
14 x 18.5 cm (30.5 x 34.5 cm with frame)
Signed lower left "V. Adam".
Nice period stick
Good condition
Very fine watercolor by Jean-Victor Adam, who was a military draftsman and lithographer.
Soldiers from an infantry regiment are depicted here, against a landscape background with a palm tree and a French flag bearer on the left. The costumes of the soldiers in the foreground are well detailed, and we recognize the Zouaves, the Algerian mercenaries incorporated into the French army during the conquest of Algeria in 1830.
And the historicity of this work is reinforced by the representation in the background of numerous figures forming an army in the center, and on the right of other figures with a mosque and a building with a French flag.
This watercolor can be dated quite early, as a portrait of a Zouave by Eugène Delacroix in the 1830s shows an identical costume (Moravska Gallery, Brno, Czech Republic).
