This anonymous lithograph from 1830-1831, titled "Vertrek van twee detachementen der Amsterdamsche Schutterij," depicts the departure of two detachments of the Amsterdam Citizen Militia. The scene, likely taking place in front of the city gate, shows a large group of uniformed militia members gathered in formation, while other citizens look on. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a historical record of the Amsterdam Citizen Militia and their role in the city's civic life.
