Servet met de inname van Rijssel door Eugenius van Savoye after 1708

This linen napkin, created after 1708 by an unknown artist, commemorates the capture of Lille by Prince Eugene of Savoy. The napkin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a woven design of two figures on horseback, presumably Eugene and his troops, along with the city's coat of arms. The design, in a subtle, light gray, adds a decorative touch to the white fabric. The napkin is a testament to the importance of textiles in Dutch society and their use in celebrating historical events.
