Allegorical Representation on the Occasion of the Marriage of Abraham Buyssant and Catharina des Amorie

The wedding couple stands on the steps of a classical building. They are crowned with a laurel wreath by Hymenaeus, who shines a beam of light through a ring above them as a symbol of union. Putti with wind instruments and burning torches, symbols of love, stand before the couple. The woman on the left, likely the personification of fidelity, offers the couple two keys. The woman on the right holds a cornucopia. On the left foreground, two river gods sit. The scene is framed in an ornamental border containing torches and burning hearts. Above the scene, Minerva holds a drapery with the names of Abraham Buyssant and Catharina des Amorie. On the left, Mercury; on the right, a putto with the family coat of arms. The wedding took place on June 16, 1720, in Haarlem.
