This striking bronze sculpture depicts a French Civil War drummer, shown wearing the standard attire of the period. Both Royalists and Parliamentarians relied heavily on drummers to communicate coded messages to their troops during battle. The uniforms and drum designs used by both sides were remarkably similar, reflecting the shared traditions of military ceremony and discipline of the time. Drummers were typically experienced, mature men, entrusted with the vital role of relaying commands through rhythmic signals. Though they carried swords as part of their uniform, these were seldom used in combat, as drummers rarely engaged directly in fighting. Their presence symbolized order, coordination, and the structured cadence of military life amid the chaos of war. This finely detailed sculpture stands 19 inches tall, cast entirely in solid bronze using the traditional lost wax method. Finished with a rich patina and mounted on a black marble base, it captures the historical essence and dignity of the period, making it a distinguished addition to any collection of military or historical art.
