The Museum de Tiid in Bolsward, the Netherlands, have just opened a special exhibition focusing on 18 portraits of officers who served in a Frisian regiment against the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War. It is believed that the set may have been commissioned by Hendrik Casimir I of Nassau or the Frisian States, with artist Wybrand de Geest having produced a number of them.
