Schutters van de compagnie van kapitein Jacob Symonsz. de Vries en luitenant Dirck de Graeff

Amsterdam is divided into twenty districts. This company of Crossbowmen, whose standard equipment now includes firearms, is responsible for keeping order in district 18. It is very unusual for the whole group to be looking at us in a painting. They must have insisted that the artist painted them like this.
