This 1787 etching by an anonymous artist, titled "Vier silhouetten verborgen in een wapentrofee," depicts a collection of weapons, flags, and armor arranged in a trophy. The trophy is topped with a statue of a woman holding a spear and a wreath, representing victory. The intricate detail and symbolic imagery of this piece reflect a fascination with military history and the power of the state. The image challenges the viewer to find the four hidden silhouettes within the composition. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
