Militairen worden onthaald bij een stad 1795

"Militairen worden onthaald bij een stad" (Military Men Welcomed in a City) is an anonymous 1795 etching depicting a group of soldiers on horseback entering a city. The soldiers, led by a man in a military uniform, are being greeted by townspeople, some of whom are kneeling. The scene is set against a background of a walled city and a cloudy sky. The print's small size and detailed lines create a sense of intimacy and focus on the individual figures within the scene, capturing the dramatic moment of soldiers' entry into the city. This engraving likely commemorates a historical event, perhaps a victorious return of troops or a diplomatic visit, highlighting the social and military significance of the time.
