Zaal met 35 schutters in verschillende monteringen, 1787 1787

"Zaal met 35 schutters in verschillende monteringen" (1787), a watercolor by Christiaan van Waardt, captures a gathering of 35 military personnel within a grand, richly decorated room. The scene is likely a formal meeting of the Dutch militia, as indicated by their uniforms and the map spread out on a table in the center of the room. Van Waardt, known for his meticulous attention to detail, depicts the individual figures and their attire with remarkable accuracy, showcasing the fashion and military regalia of the era. This work, now held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century Dutch military society.
