: : : Could someone please send me some information about the commission of Rembrandt's "Night Watch"
: : : Thank you,

: : Does anyone know why Rembrandt painted the young girl in Night Watch and why she is wearing a chicken around her waist? I would appreciate serious responses.
: no one knows why the girl is there but the emblem hanging from her waist is that of the kloveniers claw which is symbolistic
I have read that the girl is wearing yellow, which represents victory, and the dead chicken hanging from her waist represents a felled adversary.
