This portrait by Bastiaan de Poorter, painted in 1852, depicts Huibert Gerard Baron Nahuys van Burgst, a member of the Council of the Dutch East Indies, in his uniform of a titular major general. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases de Poorter's skill in capturing the subject's likeness and the details of his elaborate military attire. The painting, a testament to Dutch colonial history and the importance of military leadership during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure of that era.
