"Study of a Greek Soldier Standing with a Rifle across His Shoulders, in a Mountain Landscape" is a painting by the British artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), known for his detailed and often fantastical works created during his confinement in psychiatric hospitals. Dadd painted this work during a period when he was institutionalized after being diagnosed with a form of psychosis, which had led him to commit patricide in a delusional state.

The painting depicts a Greek soldier in traditional military attire, standing in a contemplative pose with a rifle slung across his shoulders, set against the backdrop of a rugged mountain landscape. The work reflects Dadd's interest in exotic and historical subjects, as well as his meticulous attention to detail, which is characteristic of his oeuvre. The soldier's attire and the landscape suggest a romanticized view of Greece, which was a popular theme in the art and literature of the 19th century, inspired by the Greek War of Independence and the philhellenism movement.

Richard Dadd's art is often analyzed in the context of his mental health and the circumstances of his life, including the impact of his travels to the Middle East and his subsequent breakdown. "Study of a Greek Soldier Standing with a Rifle across His Shoulders, in a Mountain Landscape" is significant as an example of Dadd's work during his hospitalization, a period when he produced some of his most acclaimed pieces, such as "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke."

The painting is part of Dadd's broader body of work that continues to fascinate art historians and the public alike, offering insight into the mind of an artist whose life and career were profoundly affected by mental illness. It stands as a testament to Dadd's enduring skill and the unique perspective he brought to his subjects, even under the most challenging personal circumstances.
