De Staalmeesters: het college van staalmeesters (waardijns) van het Amsterdamse lakenbereidersgilde (easel painting (painting by form); Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Leiden 1606-07-15 - Amsterdam ...; 1662; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-C-6; RM001.collect.5217)

Note: Rembrandt has portrayed the five syndics or sampling officials of the Amsterdam Drapers' Guild as if they are looking up from their work for a moment. On the table around which the five men are sitting is a book, probably used a record of the accounts. A servant is standing at the back - the only one wearing a skullcap rather than a hat. The board of sampling officials controlled the quality of dyed 'laken' cloth, a fine woollen fabric.To compare the quality of the different bales, they used samples of cloth - hence the name sampling officials. Rembrandt's Sampling Officials is a masterpiece among Dutch group portraits.
