Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/De magere compagnie

 
Original - De Magere Compagnie ("The Meagre Company", 1637) by Frans Hals, a Dutch portrait painter. This is typical of one of Hals' large group portraits, which often featured guardsmen.
Reason
I think this is a superb reproduction of a work by a painter that, frankly, we lacked very good illustrations for before.
