This anonymous watercolor depicts a soldier in the uniform of the Amsterdam "Genootschap tot Nut der Schutterij," a society of civilian militia that was active in the Netherlands from the 16th century. The soldier is shown standing at attention, holding a musket and a sword, and wearing the distinctive blue coat and white sash of the society. The painting is a valuable record of 18th-century Dutch military fashion and the history of the Amsterdam "Genootschap tot Nut der Schutterij."
