Schutters van Wijk XIII met luitenant Pieter Pietersz Hasselaer

In this Amsterdam civic guard portrait of 1623, the men stand in two rows, one above the other. This is necessary because it will hang on a wall with older militia paintings, so the artist reflects this in his traditional composition. The second man from the left in the lower row is Pieter Hasselaer, the lieutenant of this company. We shall be seeing a good deal more of him.
