Portret van luitenant Werner, te paard 1803 - 1861

Jacob Joseph Eeckhout's pastel drawing, "Portret van luitenant Werner, te paard," (1803-1861) depicts a military officer, Lieutenant Werner, from the back. The officer, dressed in a dark blue coat, is mounted on a horse, though only a faint sketch of the horse is visible. Eeckhout, known for his portraits and military scenes, captures the detail of the officer's uniform and equipment. This drawing is a valuable document of military fashion and the daily lives of officers during this period. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
