This etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts a historical event: the payment of Amsterdam's city guards who had returned from Nijmegen in 1632. Created between 1722 and 1784, the artwork showcases a group of figures gathered around a table in a grand hall, with the inscription "De wedergekomen Schutters betaald A:1632." The scene is rendered in detail, featuring a window overlooking a city street and an arched doorway leading to an outdoor courtyard. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the historical context of Amsterdam during this period.
