(b The Hague, 16 Feb 1822; d The Hague, 26 March 1891). Dutch painter and printmaker. Like his contemporaries David Bles, A. H. Bakker Korff and Charles Rochussen, he favoured historical genre scenes, specializing in military subjects. Between 1837 and 1841 he was a pupil of Cornelis Kruseman; from 1840 to 1841 he travelled in Belgium, Germany, Italy and France. In Paris he took advice from Ernest Meissonier, who influenced his work. After his return to The Hague he trained at the municipal academy until 1842.
