Zwaardgevecht tussen twee mannen c. 1854 - 1887

"Zwaardgevecht tussen twee mannen" (Sword Fight between Two Men), a watercolor by Alexander Ver Huell, depicts a tense duel between two men in a room, watched by a group of onlookers. This sketch, created sometime between 1854 and 1887, captures the drama of the event with its quick brushstrokes and loose lines. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the central figures engaged in combat, with the surrounding spectators adding to the sense of anticipation and excitement. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
