In 't Jaar 1566 c. 1789 - 1810

"In 't Jaar 1566" is an anonymous 18th century drawing depicting an historical event from 1566. The scene takes place in a grand interior with a prominent figure, likely a queen or duchess, standing on a dais. A man is approaching her with a weapon in hand. This drawing, created in a realistic style, captures a moment of tension and drama, likely relating to the Dutch Revolt. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, gives a glimpse into the events that shaped Dutch history and is a testament to the anonymous artist's skill.
