About this work

Depiction of one woman with shield and staff, and four men with sword and shield. According to the accompanying caption, these are the countess of Holland Maria XXXII and the counts of Holland Maximiliaan XXXIII, Filips XXXIV, Karel XXXV, and Filips XXXVI (intended are Maria of Burgundy, Maximilian I of Habsburg, Filips the Fair, Karel V of Habsburg, and Filips II). This print is part of a series of eight numbered prints of the counts and countesses of Holland with accompanying explanatory Dutch texts in book type. The print and text are always affixed to a single sheet. Incidentally, the dates mentioned in the captions appear to be largely incorrect.
