This watercolor painting by Albertus Verhoesen, a Dutch artist known for his military illustrations, depicts a mounted "Rustbewaarder" (a type of guard) from Utrecht in the Netherlands. Dated between 1835 and 1850, the artwork shows a detailed representation of the guard’s uniform, complete with a blue coat, a cap, and a sword. The horse, in a walking pose, is rendered in a realistic manner. This small-scale piece is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the military attire of the time.
