In the image, he is depicted with a sense of authority and intelligence, gazing intently at a meticulously detailed map spread out before him on the table. The map represents the Dutch colony of Surinam, a significant territory in the Netherlands' colonial empire. Cateau van Rosevelt's career was multifaceted, encompassing various roles such as administrator, agent, attache, cartographer, and even naval officer. His expertise in cartography is evident in the intricacy and accuracy of the map, which adds an intriguing layer to this portrait. The oil on canvas painting, titled "Johan Francois Adriaan Cateau van Rosevelt," is a testament to the rich heritage of the Dutch colonial past and the various professions that contributed to the expansion and maintenance of their colonial territories.
