The Council Chamber in Amsterdam Town Hall

The Council Chamber in Amsterdam Town Hall (c. 1663–1665) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Pieter de Hooch.

In the middle of a room is a chimney-piece, with a cornice and frieze, supported on pilasters; a large picture hangs above.

In the right foreground is another gentleman, also looking upward; he is dressed in brown and yellow, with slashed sleeves, and carries a stick.

High up on the left hangs a large reddish-brown curtain; the floor is paved with black and white tiles.

The picture over the chimney-piece is the story of Fabricius and Pyrrhus, by F. Bol; below it are the four well-known verses by Vondel.
