Kapitein ter Zee in groote tenue 1835 - 1850

"Kapitein ter Zee in groote tenue" is a hand-colored drawing by Albertus Verhoesen, a Dutch artist who lived from 1806 to 1881. The drawing depicts a captain of the Dutch navy in full dress uniform. The piece is a study of the elaborate details of the uniform, from the officer's high-collared jacket to his bicorne hat and sword. This illustration, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, dates from between 1835 and 1850 and is a testament to Verhoesen’s mastery of visual detail and the importance of military uniforms during this era.
