Military Band 1800 - 1833

Philippus Jacobus Brepols' "Military Band" (1800-1833) depicts various musicians of the Dutch military, including those on horseback. This detailed black and white print, held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's interest in military uniforms and the rituals of military bands during the early 19th century. The print's three rows show different positions of soldiers, a common approach in historical and military artwork.
