Interesting pike and shot picture

 Full picture and description. Paulus Lesire (1611-1654)

The departure of Queen Henrietta Maria of England of Scheveningen on 26 February 1643. (Coll. Stockholms Auktionsverk, Stockholm)
Paulus Lesire (1611-1654) painted also the departure of Henrietta Maria. This painting depicts many citizens, noblemen, soldiers and the Hague shooters. Probably the shooters from The Hague are in a 'daily' dressed in uniform and the painting gives an image of the second room Queen Henriette Maria on February 26, 1643.
