About the Item
This oil on canvas, signed H. Haller and dated 1903, depicts a military still life, executed with formal precision and a refined attention to detail, characteristic of late 19th- and early 20th-century European painting.
The composition features a black military cap with red piping, a sword with an elaborately crafted hilt, and a blue uniform, carefully arranged in a solemn, almost ceremonial manner. The artist demonstrates a strong command of texture, convincingly rendering felt, polished metal, and the heavy drape of fabric.
The color palette—dominated by deep blues, velvety blacks, and vivid red accents—is balanced by a warm, restrained background that isolates the objects and heightens their symbolic presence. Flowing ribbons and vertical elements introduce movement, counterbalancing the solidity and gravitas of the composition.
More than a simple still life, the painting conveys themes of identity, honor, and military memory, reflecting concerns deeply rooted in European culture at the turn of the century. The work belongs to the tradition of symbolic still lifes, positioned between academic painting and early modern sensibilities.
Distinguished by its date, signature, and accomplished execution, this painting represents a compelling collectible work for connoisseurs of historical painting, refined still lifes, and military iconography.
