Jas van J.R. Thorbecke c. 1850

This 19th-century suit, on display at the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of men's fashion during the period. The jacket is a dark blue tailcoat with gold buttons and decorative trim on the cuffs and collar. The white trousers are typical of the era. This ensemble provides insight into the sartorial preferences of the time and offers a glimpse into the clothing worn by men in the Netherlands during the mid-19th century. The suit, likely worn by a prominent figure like J.R. Thorbecke, demonstrates the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized men's fashion in this period.
