"Aanval op Muiden door generaal Kalckreuth, 1787" is a detailed etching by Maas van Altena, created between 1790 and 1792. It depicts a military scene, likely a Dutch battle with a general and soldiers at the forefront, with the town of Muiden and a windmill visible in the distance. The scene is rendered in a realistic manner, capturing the drama and tension of the moment. The etching's small size - 311 mm in height and 461 mm in width - enhances its intimacy, allowing the viewer to closely examine the minute details of the battle. This artwork is an intriguing glimpse into a historical event and an excellent example of Maas van Altena's skill in etching.
