About this work
A king stands on a stone dais, in one hand a sword, in the other an olive branch. On the left in the background, a camp before a burning city. On the right in the background, a view of a peaceful city with a pyramid-shaped pillar in the foreground. In the margin, a six-line inscription in two columns in Latin.
