an interior with several dutch officers. On the right a man is sitting at a writing table, on the left a man is working on fire from the fireplace, in the middle three gentlemen are looking at a map. Above the chimney a coat of arms and above it a portrait of a man in profile, surrounded by a laurel wreath. Fine engraved print depicting an officer's mess by j. Houbraken after a painting by c. Troost, with coat of arms engraved in lower margin and dedication to d. Muilman. Cornelis troost (8 october 1696 – 7 march 1750) was an 18th-century actor and painter from amsterdam. Troost was trained as an actor and married the actress susanna maria van der duyn, but became a pupil of arnold boonen and gave up his career for painting in 1723. He is primarily remembered for his works depicting scenes from the amsterdam theatre (he also made theatre decorations for plays) and daily life of the upper crust in amsterdam. One of his earliest drawings dated 1708, is of prince eugene of savoy and the bookseller and spy louis renard visiting a chic amsterdam brothel. Then he had an early success with a lively group portrait depicting the amsterdam inspectors of the collegium medicum (rijksmuseum, amsterdam, 1724). Troost painted portraits, including one of herman boerhaave, the famous doctor from leiden. Troost is known for his paintings of actors in famous roles as well as his witty and elegant rococo genre scenes. Troost was possibly influenced by william hogarth, and certainly by french artists such as watteau, boucher and lancret.
