Enkele mannen en een soldaat in een herberg 1832 - 1891

"Enkele mannen en een soldaat in een herberg," (Dutch for "Some men and a soldier in an inn") is a watercolor by Dutch artist Herman Frederik Carel ten Kate, painted between 1832 and 1891. The painting depicts a lively scene in a simple, rural inn with a group of men seated around a table. The focus is on the interaction between the characters, capturing a moment of daily life in 19th-century Dutch society. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, while the detailed depiction of the interior further enriches the composition. This intimate scene is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and reflects the artist's interest in depicting ordinary people in everyday settings.
