This 1815-1849 engraving by Johannes Christiaan Bendorp portrays Michel Ney, a prominent French military figure. The work is a striking example of portraiture, showcasing Ney in a detailed uniform, highlighting his status as a Marshal of France. The composition features Ney in an oval frame, which was a popular choice for portraits during the 19th century. This small yet intricate artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, and is a testament to Bendorp's skill in capturing the likeness of a historical figure.
