Albertus Verhoesen created "Trompetter der Hussaren" in the 19th century. The lithograph presents a Hussar trumpeter in meticulous detail, standing in a composed yet relaxed posture. Verhoesen has structured the composition to draw our attention to the Hussar's elaborate uniform. The bright red coat, contrasted with the dark blue trousers and the black fur-trimmed hat, creates a visually striking image. The lines are sharp and precise, defining the contours of the figure and the intricate details of the uniform. The texture is suggested through the varied use of line and color, giving depth to the fabric and fur. The artist has used scale to emphasize the figure's presence and authority. The backdrop is minimal, which brings the Hussar into sharp focus. This formal arrangement underscores a celebration of military status and the aesthetic appeal of regalia.
