This 1787 watercolor depicts a member of the "Genootschap tot Nut der Schutterij" (Society for the Benefit of the Amsterdam Militia) playing a flute. The anonymous artist captures the detail of the uniform worn by the soldier, including the elaborate hat and the white sash. This artwork, likely commissioned by the militia, provides a glimpse into 18th-century military fashion and musical practices in Amsterdam.
