Het Volksbewind Gevestigd, decoratie op het Amstelveld, 1795 1795

This 1795 print by A. (II) Schol depicts a design for a monument on the Amstelveld in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The monument features a central column topped with two flags, a marble pedestal with a framed scene of a woman seated on a throne with children around her, and archways decorated with ribbons. This design likely commemorated the establishment of the Batavian Republic in 1795, a pivotal event in Dutch history. The print reflects the neoclassical style popular at the time, featuring ornate decorations and symbolic imagery. The artwork’s small dimensions, measuring 275mm by 188mm, suggest it was intended for personal use or as part of a collection.
