Vrijwilliger van het Korps tot het verrigten van Kavallerie diensten langs de linie van de Kapitalen Dam tot Sluis 1835 - 1850

This detailed watercolor by Albertus Verhoesen, created between 1835 and 1850, depicts a "Volunteer of the Corps for the performance of Cavalry services along the line from the Capital Dam to Sluis". The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail in capturing the uniform and equipment of a Dutch cavalryman. The rider, in full regalia, sits astride a prancing horse, the composition emphasizing the dynamism of the scene and the rider's readiness for action. This small but informative work offers a glimpse into the history of Dutch military attire and the role of volunteers in the 19th century.
