About this work
Allegory on the birth of Princess Maria Amalia of Nassau-Dietz, daughter of Henry Casimir, 29 January 1689. Around the cradle with the child stand and kneel Minerva, Juno, Cupid and Flora. On the left, the peacocks of Juno. In the distance the Hofvijver and the buildings of the Binnenhof. In the sky, angels carry the coat of arms of Nassau-Dietz and Fame, with an orange branch and trumpet, proclaims the news of the birth of the princess. At the bottom an eight-line verse.
