EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting by Dirk Langendijk depicts the uniform of the Rotterdamsch Genootschap van Wapenhandel de Palmboom, or Rotterdam Society of the Palm Tree Arms Trade, from the year 1787. The full-length portrait showcases a sentry standing at attention, clad in the distinctive attire of this Dutch military organization. The soldier wears a bearskin hat adorned with a palm leaf and a feather, symbolizing the society's name. His red coat, fastened with brass buttons, is decorated with gold lace and a palm leaf motif. A white waistcoat and breeches, completed with a red sash, complement the coat. The soldier carries a rifle slung over his shoulder and a bayonet attached to his belt. The sentry stands before a sentry box, a wooden structure with a red roof and a metal door, which was used to store weapons and other essentials. The background is filled with various weapons, including rifles, muskets, and swords, arranged on a wooden shelf. This artwork, created with watercolor paint on paper, offers a captivating glimpse into the military fashion of the 18th century in the Netherlands. The meticulous attention to detail in the uniform, the weapons, and the sentry box, as well as the vibrant colors used, make this a valuable addition to any collection of European art or military history. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the current home of this exquisite painting by Dirk Langendijk, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the rich heritage of the Dutch military uniforms and the intricacies of the arms trade during the 18th century.
