Jacobus Buys's "Johan de Witt aangevallen en zwaar gewond, 1672" is a 1788 depiction of the 1672 assassination of Johan de Witt, a prominent Dutch statesman. This historical drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the violent event with stark detail. A group of figures surround de Witt, wielding swords, and the scene's starkness emphasizes the brutality of the moment. The image evokes a sense of chaos and the tragic end of a prominent figure in Dutch history.
