"Soldaten die zich in een boerderij te goed doen" (Soldiers Indulging Themselves in a Farmhouse), a pen and brown ink drawing by Dutch artist Hendrik Jacobus Scholten, depicts a scene of soldiers enjoying a meal inside a farmhouse. The artwork, dated to possibly 1887, showcases Scholten's skill in capturing the details of the figures and the space they occupy. The composition centers on a group of soldiers sitting at a table, some of them holding glasses and plates, suggesting a moment of casual camaraderie and revelry. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Scholten's approach to portraying everyday scenes with a touch of humor and social commentary.
