Maskerade door studenten van de Leidse Hogeschool, 1840 (plaat 14) 1840

This 1840 lithograph by Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet, titled “Maskerade door studenten van de Leidse Hogeschool” and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a group of students dressed in Renaissance-era costumes, possibly for a masquerade ball. The print is notable for its detailed representation of both the students' attire and the horses they are riding, creating a vivid picture of student life in Leiden during the 19th century. The work is a valuable glimpse into the historical costuming and social events of the time.
