Portraits of seven bishops of England, imprisoned by King James II in the Tower in 1688, because they openly opposed his Declaration of Indulgence. In the middle, in an oval, the portrait of the Archbishop William of Canterbury, around it, also in ovals, the portraits of William of St. Asaph, John of Chichester, Thomas of Peterborough, Jonathan of Bristol, Thomas of Bath and Wells and Francis of Ely. Above each bishop portrait a bishop's mitre, at the very top a cherub. At the bottom a four-line text, left in Dutch and right in French, with in the middle two medallions. One shows an image of the Tower, the other an image of a scale with a sun and a moon.
