Fables of Aesop

In the middle of a square full of people a pedestal with the allegorical representation of Vigilance on top. She holds an oil lamp in her left hand (symbol for vigilance) and holds a canvas before the public around the pedestal with a collection of animals from the fables of Aesop painted on it (the pope, the lion, the turtle, the fox, the deer, the hare, etc.). In front of the pedestal sits Caritas. The people around the pedestal point to the canvas and discuss among themselves. Above the crowd several putti hold up a round portrait with an image of Johan Willem Friso. Bust to the left. On the pedestal the title of the book in Latin.
