Zitting van regenten, 1750 1750

"Zitting van regenten," a 1750 red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Pieter Louw (1725-1800), portrays a group of regents seated around a table. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the formality of the Dutch Golden Age. Louw's meticulous detail and the subtle rendering of light and shadow create a realistic depiction of these prominent figures, conveying their social standing and the importance of their meeting.
