Soldaat der kompagnie Werklieden 1835 - 1850

This 19th-century watercolor by Albertus Verhoesen depicts a soldier from the "Werklieden" company, a group of laborers in the Dutch military. The intricate detail of the soldier's uniform, including his black hat with a yellow plume, and his grey coat with red piping, provides valuable insight into the military fashion of the period. This small but meticulously crafted piece is a fine example of the historical documentation of military uniforms through artistic means, and a testament to Verhoesen's skill as an illustrator.
