Banquet of the Officers of the Calivermen Civic Guard, Haarlem

Banquet of the officers of the Calivermen Civic Guard, Haarlem formerly known as The Banquet of the Officers of the St Adrian Militia Company in 1627, refers to a schutterstuk painted by Frans Hals, in 1627, for the St. Adrian (or St. Hadrian) civic guard of Haarlem.

At the time Hals made his painting, Haarlem had three civic guard districts divided among the various "rot-masters".

Officers were selected by the council of Haarlem to serve for three years, and this group had just finished their tenure and celebrated their end of service with a portrait.

The men featured are, from left to right: Ensign Adriaen Matham, Ensign Loth Schout, Colonel Willem Claesz Voogt, Fiscaal Johan Damius, Captain Johan Schatter (seated in front), Captain Gilles de Wildt (seated behind the table with knife in hand), Servant Willem Ruychaver (standing behind him holding a pitcher), Captain Willem Warmont (seated in front), Ensign Pieter Ramp, Lieutenant Outgert Ariss Akersloot (offering a dish to Fiscaal Damius), Lieutenant Claes van Napels (standing with white plume), and Lieutenant Matthys Haeswindius (seated at the foot of the table).

The dog in the lower left is a greyhound and the name for this in Dutch is hazewind, which may be meant to indicate the relationship between the ensign Adriaen Matham and his lieutenant Haeswindius seated on the right.
