The Del Prado Don Cossack brings the collection into the upheaval following the Russian Revolution. The cap, distinctive trousers and carried weapon give the figure a recognizable Cossack character without including a horse.
The red coat and silver-coloured braiding make this Cossack officer a formal portrait rather than a ragged raider. The Life Guard identification is essential: it places the figure in a particular institutional setting within Russian service.
The binoculars are in her hands while the rifle remains slung. Del Prado’s female sniper therefore shows a stage of the job that a firing pose would miss: looking, judging and waiting.
The long grey coat and fur cap make this Soviet infantryman a winter subject before the Stalingrad label is read. His quiet stance offers a contrast to the dramatic room-clearing scenes usually used to represent the battle.
