Relletjes voor het huis van de Engelse consul te Amsterdam, 1688 1777 - 1781

This is a drawing by Dutch artist Simon Fokke titled "Relletjes voor het huis van de Engelse consul te Amsterdam, 1688" (meaning "Riots in front of the house of the English consul in Amsterdam, 1688") and depicts a historical event of rioting outside the English consul's home in Amsterdam in 1688. The scene is rendered in a detailed yet simplistic fashion, with the figures appearing as small, stylized shapes. The drawing was created by Fokke between 1777 and 1781, and it now resides in the Rijksmuseum. This sketch provides a glimpse into a historical moment of unrest and conflict, offering insight into the political climate of 17th-century Amsterdam.
