About the Item
Division of the Spoils in a Military Encampment
Entourage of Willem Cornelisz. Duyster (Amsterdam 1599 – 1635)
Not signed.
Dutch school, late 17th – early 18th century
Oil on oak panel
Dimensions: H 37.5 cm × W 63 cm
Brigands or soldiers? The uniforms suggest military order, the gestures evoke looting. In a makeshift camp, armed men divide a luxurious spoils – silverware, embroidered fabrics, jewels – examining each item one by one, like animated still-life objects. A standing officer oversees the scene, while those around him move quickly, silently, caught between discipline and desire.
This subject belongs to the Dutch tradition of military scenes, particularly those associated with Willem Cornelisz. Duyster. The composition echoes a well-known prototype, Interior with Soldiers Dividing the Spoils (c. 1625–30), which was widely reproduced in later decades. Known versions are held at Luton Hoo (Wernher Collection, RKD), the William Benton Museum of Art (signed “WD”), the former Koenigs Collection (as noted by Hofstede de Groot), and appeared in sales at Christie’s (1969, Van Alen Collection) and Sotheby’s New York (1979).
The horizontal format is used to full narrative effect, guiding the viewer’s eye through a scene structured like a silent drama. The rendering of materials – metal, textiles, weapons – reflects the refined detail typical of Dutch painting from the late 17th century. The painting has not been recorded in public collections or auction records and likely remained for a long time in a private collection.
Condition:
Original oak panel, horizontal format, uncradled. The painted surface shows a stable and consistent craquelure, light abrasions at the edges, and some old retouching. Structurally sound and visually well preserved.

About painter
dutch painter
Utrecht 1586 - 1666 Utrecht
Painter of genre scenes, generally of peasants, views and landscapes of villages and towns (including some winter landscapes) and some religious and allegorical subjects (mainly at the beginning of his career).
We do not know under whom our painter studied. Seeing the Flemish character of his work, some scholars believe that he could have studied in Flanders, in Antwerp.
Droochsloot was a versatile and productive painter. The central museum in his hometown of Utrecht holds 15 of his paintings, showing the diversity of his work, many other museums exhibit his works
Our painting represents a scene that took place during the Eighty Years' War. This Dutch War of Independence from Spain was a long, slow war that lasted from 1568 to 1648. The war began with a Protestant uprising in Flanders and Holland against the Spanish...
