Target for military shooting competition from the 19th century

typical "schiessscheibe" in painted wood, with a target inserted in a rural scene with shooters in uniform as Jagers intent on shooting; it is a large and sturdy pine wood board, with two crosspieces on the reverse, completely painted like a picture on the visible face, the real target engaging only the lower right corner; datable to the seventies / eighties of the nineteenth century, it has a natural patina that has never been cleaned and small damage due to time
