Commentary: Against a background of grays and dark earth tones, the swirling snow and wind-whipped, tattered coat reflect the lonely, frigid plight of the Revolutionary War soldier on sentry duty in the dead of winter. The ‘Schoonover red’ scarf provides the focal point.
Provenance: Sold by artist to private collection
