You're standing at the Hague Historical Museum, on the Korte Vijverberg. Take a look at the building. This was the guild house of Saint Sebastian. In the seventeenth century it was home to the civic militia of Saint Sebastian, the town's citizen guard. Some of those militiamen still hang in the collection, in paintings.
