With his weapon at hand and eyes fixed through a telescope, he remains vigilant atop a skylight structure. The artist's attention to detail beautifully portrays the intensity and determination etched onto the soldier's face. Neuville masterfully captures not only the individual soldier but also conveys the atmosphere of defense during this tumultuous time in history. The painting highlights various elements such as rifles, soldiers, and weaponry that were integral to both sides involved in this war between France and Prussia.
