The Black Brunswicker (1860) is a painting by John Everett Millais. It was inspired in part by the exploits of the Black Brunswickers, a German volunteer corps of the Napoleonic Wars, during the Waterloo campaign[2] and in part by the contrasts of black broadcloth and pearl-white satin in a moment of tender conflict.[3]
