This 1781 artwork by Jacobus Kok, "Bericht over de lijkstatie van Wolter Jan Gerrit baron Bentinck, 1781," details the funeral procession of Wolter Jan Gerrit baron Bentinck, a Dutch admiral. The document outlines the order of the procession, from the six "aanfreekers" (those who speak at the funeral) to the six "koetzen" (coaches). The artwork is a detailed description of the funeral procession, and provides historical insight into the practices and rituals of the Dutch upper class in the late 18th century.
