Portrait of an officer of the Leiden civic guard in front of the gate of the headquarters of the St. George guards 1673

Domenicus van Tol's 1673 oil painting, *Portrait of an Officer of the Leiden Civic Guard in Front of the Gate of the Headquarters of the St. George Guards*, depicts a man in a dark coat and white collar, wearing a pink sash. He stands before a gate, possibly the gate of the headquarters of the St. George guards, in the background of the work. The subject’s hand rests on a staff, while figures in the shadows of the gate and a sculpted St. George slaying a dragon complete the composition.
