Saucer with an image of the Battle at the Duivendrecht Bridge after 1794

This small, white porcelain saucer, created after 1794 by an anonymous artist, features a hand-painted depiction of the Battle of the Duivendrecht Bridge, a significant event in Dutch history. The scene is framed by a gold-gilded border, and a caption reads "Gevecht by de Duivendrecht ze-brug 1787," which translates to "Battle by the Duivendrecht Sea Bridge 1787". This saucer, a commemorative piece that highlights the history of the Netherlands, is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and exemplifies the artistic and historical significance of decorative arts.
