Bengaalsche Lancier, te paard, idem, Troepen in de Oost-Indiën 1823

This 1823 hand-colored engraving by Joannes Bemme depicts a "Bengaalsche Lancier" (Bengal Lancer) on horseback, showcasing the uniform worn by troops in the Dutch East Indies during this era. The image captures the intricate detail of the lancer's uniform, including his plumed hat, red jacket, and white trousers. The black horse, depicted in a dynamic pose, adds to the overall sense of movement and vigor. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insights into the military culture of the Dutch East Indies during the 19th century.
