Serving as Governor General of the Dutch East Indies from 1888 to 1893, Hordijk's portrait exudes authority and elegance. The composition depicts Hordijk standing with his knee slightly bent, positioned to the right side of the frame. His right hand rests gracefully on a table while he holds a ceremonial stab in his left hand.
