This detailed engraving, created between 1772 and 1774 by Dutch artist Johannes le Francq van Berkhey, depicts various firearms, including a "Snaphaan" (a type of flintlock musket) owned by Johan van der Does, a prominent figure in the Dutch Revolt against Spain. The image also features two captured Spanish cannons, indicating a historical context of warfare. The inscription below the image details the capture of the Spanish guns by the Dutch. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the military technology and historical events of the 16th century.
