A drawing of four soldiers, facing front, similarly clad in brownish-grey coats, cuffs and woollen stockings, but with different hats. They all bear their guns on their shoulders. Inscribed, verso: A. Van Everding / 10 Novr 1777. The old attribution to Allart van Everdingen was based on the inscription on the verso, however the soldiers' equipment indicates that the drawing was executed after his death in 1675, and probably dates from the early years of the eighteenth century.
Provenance
Probably in the Royal Collection by c.1810
