Decoratie op de Keizersgracht bij de Leidsestraat, 1816 1816

This 1816 drawing by an anonymous artist depicts a design for a decorative monument. The monument features a central column topped with a crown, flanked by two cannons, all sitting atop a multi-tiered base. The base bears the inscription "KRIJGS KUNDE" (Military Science). The design likely reflects the period's admiration for military prowess and the prominence of the armed forces. The drawing is held in the Rijksmuseum and provides valuable insight into Dutch decorative art of the early 19th century.
