About this work
The four officers of the Crossbow Guilds or St. Sebastian Guilds in Amsterdam, 1653. The officers are from left to right: Frans Banning Cocq, Jan van de Poll, Albert Dircksz Pater and Jan Willemsz Blaeu. The officers sit around a table in front of a cabinet in which trophy cups are displayed. They also hold in their hands a trophy goblet, the king's staff decorated with a bird and the guild chain with a medallion in the shape of a bird. The target woman brings the ceremonial silver drinking horn of the guild inside. On the left sits a dog, on the right in the background two shooters.
