Ride with Prince Maurice in a Praying Posture

Large window from the monastery of St Agatha near Cuyk. Prince Maurits in gilded armor, with ermine mantle and pleated collar, bareheaded, in praying posture, kneeling on a prayer stool before a lectern on which a book. The lectern stands on a table covered with a dark blue cloth with gold fringe. Helmet and gloves lie on the ground in front of the table. The prince is in a dome supported by four free-standing Corinthian columns; above his head a canopy from which a laurel wreath hangs. The dome is crowned by the coat of arms of Maurits and the motto of the Order of the Garter: 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' (Shame on him who thinks evil of it). Coat of arms supported by two running youths. The coat of arms leans against the upper part of the dome. Below this scene are fragments of architecture that have been clumsily placed. On the right lies a young woman kneeling with raised hands. She wears a yellow silk mantle with ermine trim. The face was painted in oil in 1891.
