"Vijftig-Jarig Jubilé van het Herstel van Neêrlands Onafhankelijkheid, gevierd te Utrecht, op den 28 November 1863" is an 1863 pen and ink illustration by an anonymous artist, currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The illustration depicts a group of Dutch volunteers in military garb in a foreign village. The scene likely depicts an episode from the Crimean War (1853-1856), where the Dutch played a small but important role. This type of image was popular in the 19th century, used to commemorate important events like the 50th anniversary of Dutch independence from Spanish rule which is being celebrated in the artwork.
