Arquebusiers, whose Captain, according to the annual usage, receives
the ‘cup of welcome’ (‘een frischen roemer wyn’); the costume is
not that of the 17th cent., but of an earlier period, with tall, narrow-
brimmed hats and upright ruffs, and accords well with the grave and
dignified deportment of the figures (dated 1618). On the left wall,
14. Twelve members of the town-council of 1636 in half-figure,
sitting at their green table, with which their black dress contrasts
admirably; the only colours the picture contains are green, black,
white, and the flesh-tint of the faces, and the effect is very harmon-
ious and pleasing. — Among the other paintings are the following.
