"Portret van een matroos van de Koninklijk Marine, staand naast een reddingsboei met opschrift 'Hr. Ms. Neptunus'" (c. 1916 - 1922), a photograph by Willem Cornelis Boelsums, depicts a Dutch sailor in his uniform standing next to a life preserver labeled "Hr. Ms. Neptunus". The sailor is holding a ship's anchor and stands in front of a blurred background that may depict the ship itself. This photograph, likely a studio portrait, is a classic example of portraiture that captured the essence of a person's profession, particularly during a time of military service.
