The St Adrian Civic Guard
''The St Adrian Civic Guard'' is a 1612 militia group portrait painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis Engelsz. It is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 364.The painting was bought from Charles Sedelmeyer in 1895 by the director of the Strasbourg museum, Wilhelm von Bode, and entered the collections two years later. As of 2014, it was the only Dutch painting of that kind (''schuttersstuk''; English: "militia piece") in a French museum. The painting depicts a banquet of 46 men in arms from the voluntary civic guard of Haarlem.
