This colorful print, "Nederlandsche Schutterij, te paard en te voet," (Dutch Sharpshooters, Mounted and on Foot) by Erve H. Rynders, created between 1831 and 1854, depicts a group of soldiers in various poses. It is part of a series depicting soldiers in different formations, including a mounted soldier, two standing soldiers and one sitting soldier.
