Twee Chinese boeren en twee krijgslieden 1655 - 1708

This etching by Romeyn de Hooghe, created sometime between 1655 and 1708, depicts a group of four individuals, likely soldiers and peasants. The composition features two figures standing, one with a large shield, and two figures mounted on horseback. The detailed, somewhat stylized attire suggests a focus on the uniforms and weaponry of the time. The piece is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This artwork is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque period and its fascination with military imagery and social commentary.
