Officieren van de Haarlemse Kloveniersdoelen by Hendrik Gerritsz Pot, 1630
oil on canvas, height 214cm x width 276cm
Note the flag carrier in white towards the right and his afro. Everyone else seems to have more closely cropped hair but who knows what they have hiding under their hats.

Note the flag carrier in white towards the right and his afro. Everyone else seems to have more closely cropped hair but who knows what they have hiding under their hats.
Also of interest, a painting of a painting : the top of a group portrait can be seen through the window.
I think the metal hand rails with the upturn at the end is designed discourage people from sliding down them.
