Johannes Paulus Houtman, a Dutch artist and military enthusiast, produced a series of such illustrations to document the uniforms and equipment of the period. The officer is shown standing in a formal posture, wearing a dark green coat with gold epaulettes and a tall shako adorned with a plume. His hand rests upon the hilt of a curved sabre, a standard sidearm for light infantry officers of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustration is executed with a focus on technical accuracy rather than atmospheric effect. Houtman employs a precise line, using ink to define the contours of the uniform and the facial features of the subject. The application of watercolour is restrained, providing local colour to the coat, trousers, and the small patch of ground upon which the figure stands. The composition is simple, placing the subject against a plain background to ensure the details of the military attire remain the primary focus. The handwritten caption at the base identifies the rank and regiment, a common practice in military costume studies of the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch works provide a record of the sartorial shifts within the Dutch military during the transition from the French-influenced period to the establishment of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. The attention to detail regarding the braiding, buttons, and headgear reflects the importance placed on regimental identity. This print offers a view into the visual culture of the Napoleonic Wars, capturing the aesthetic of the period through the lens of a contemporary observer. It is a piece of historical documentation, useful for those interested in military history or the development of uniform design in the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-grecian-lovely-john-william-godward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grecian Lovely - John William Godward — John William Godward\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johannes Paulus Houtman","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59093507309903,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59093509308751,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59093509341519,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59093509374287,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59093509407055,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59093509439823,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59093509472591,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59093509505359,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59093509538127,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59093509570895,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59093509603663,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59093509636431,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Officier-der-Noord-Hollandsche-Jagers_Poster_CompositorV1_1791783058892.jpg?v=1791784103","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/officier-der-noord-hollandsche-jagers-johannes-paulus-houtman","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
