Fragment van een collage van uitgeknipte prenten, geplakt op blauw papier c. 1680 - 1720

This small collage, created sometime between 1680 and 1720, is a fragment of a larger work composed of various printed images. It depicts a scene with several figures, likely soldiers, in a landscape setting, with a distinctive blue paper background. This artwork is an example of a technique known as "cut-and-paste" collage, which was popular during the 17th and 18th centuries. The collage's small size and its focus on a specific scene suggest that it was likely created for a personal collection or as a decorative element in a larger object. The piece's fragmented nature adds to its unique visual appeal.
