This anonymous engraving, "Egmond en Horne gevangengenomen, 1567" (1618-1624), depicts the arrest of Lamoral, Count of Egmont, and Philip of Montmorency, Count of Horn, two prominent figures of the Dutch Revolt. This scene, set in a room with a window overlooking a courtyard with soldiers, captures the tension of the moment as Egmont and Horn are led away, likely to their execution. The engraving's detailed depiction of the figures and setting contributes to the historical significance of this artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
