In 't Jaar 1255 c. 1789 - 1810

"In 't Jaar 1255" is an anonymous pen and ink drawing from the late 18th or early 19th century depicting a scene of conflict. The work features a group of men, some on horseback, engaged in a battle using swords and spears. The image depicts a moment of intense action, captured in a rapid, almost hurried style typical of sketches of the period. The small size of the drawing and the simple yet expressive lines add to its sense of immediacy and energy. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the historical imagination of the time, possibly inspired by tales of medieval battles.
