This watercolor painting, titled "Vaandeldrager der Schutterij van 's Gravenhage" ("Standard Bearer of the Militia of The Hague") by Albertus Verhoesen (1806-1881), depicts a member of the Hague Militia in full uniform, holding a flag that reads "Met God voor Koning en Vaderland" ("With God for King and Fatherland"). This piece, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a small yet detailed illustration of a historical uniform from the 19th century and serves as a valuable record of Dutch military fashion.
