This 1813-1814 lithograph by Willem van Senus depicts the murder of Willem Schuil van der Does. The scene is set in a room with a doorway and a mirror, where multiple individuals are involved in a violent struggle. The graphic nature of the scene highlights the brutal reality of the event, while the artist's meticulous detail draws the viewer into the heart of the action. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful reminder of the violent history of the Netherlands during the Napoleonic Wars.
