Confrontatie tussen burgerpatrouille en militaire patrouille te Arnhem, 1784 1788 - 1790

Reinier Vinkeles’s etching, *Confrontatie tussen burgerpatrouille en militaire patrouille te Arnhem, 1784* (1788-1790), depicts a dramatic encounter between a citizen patrol and a military patrol in Arnhem, the Netherlands. This detailed print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the tension of the night, with the shadowy figures of the patrols illuminated by the flickering light of torches. Vinkeles masterfully conveys the scene’s urgency, drawing attention to the confrontation between the two groups.
