This anonymous watercolor depicts a performance at the Amsterdam Schouwburg theater on June 1, 1768, for Willem V and Wilhelmina of Prussia. The scene is a theatrical backdrop depicting a forest glade, with actors in period dress performing on stage. A crowd of spectators can be seen in the foreground, suggesting the scene is a representation of a specific moment in the performance. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch theater and the elaborate stage productions of the time.
