Artist context
About Charles Rochussen
Charles Rochussen (1814–1894) was a Dutch painter, illustrator, and printmaker active in the Northern Netherlands during the nineteenth century. Born in Kralingen near Rotterdam and later based in Rotterdam, he worked across a broad range of media including oil painting, watercolor, lithography, and etching. Rochussen is recognized for his versatility as both a fine artist and a prolific illustrator, contributing designs and visual narratives that reached wide audiences through printed editions. His work often depicted historical and military subjects, reflecting the period's interest in national history and narrative art. Institutions including the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History maintain detailed records of his oeuvre, and his identity is well established through multiple authority files including the Getty Union List of Artist Names and VIAF.

Common works and media
Rochussen's output spans oil paintings on canvas and panel, watercolor compositions, pen-and-ink drawings, lithographic prints, and etchings. His subjects frequently include historical battle scenes, equestrian episodes, and narrative illustrations drawn from Dutch national history. Illustrated book plates and series of lithographic reproductions also form part of his body of work. Collectors may encounter individual prints as well as bound illustrated volumes attributed to his studio.
Market and appraisal context
Charles Rochussen's work appears regularly at auction, with over 200 recorded lots spanning paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints. Collectors encountering Rochussen pieces should consider medium as a primary value factor: finished oil paintings tend to achieve higher prices than works on paper or printed editions. Condition, provenance documentation, and the completeness of attribution supporting evidence all affect appraisal outcomes. Works bearing his monogram (CR) should be cross-referenced with RKD records. As with many nineteenth-century Dutch artists, auction results can vary significantly by subject, size, and quality of execution.
