Huzaar te paard, een charge uitvoerend, met een pistool in zijn hand 1800 - 1841

This black and white print, created between 1800 and 1841 by Dutch artist Joannes Bemme, depicts a hussar on horseback, charging forward with a pistol in his hand. The intricate details of the hussar's uniform, the horse's anatomy, and the landscape background showcase Bemme's mastery of etching. The scene evokes the dynamism and bravery of the hussar, a type of light cavalry known for their swift maneuvers and skilled horsemanship. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the military culture of the early 19th century.
