The Last Grenadier of Waterloo by the French painter Horace Emile Jean Vernet (1789-1863).
Even though Vernet became famous as a battle painter this is much more a kind of symbolism. The cross with the setting sun behind and the lonesome contemplating soldier, nothing is real or had anything to do with the battlefield in the evening.
