Utrechtse maskerade van 1876 (zesde plaat) 1876

This anonymous 19th-century watercolor depicts a procession of knights on horseback, likely a scene from the 1876 Utrechtse maskerade, a historical re-enactment of a medieval event. The detail of the knights’ armor, flags, and the surrounding forest suggests a focus on historical accuracy. The artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the Dutch fascination with the Middle Ages during the 19th century.
