About this work

On a monument with allegorical figures representing Faith and Religion stands a commemorative text for Arent van Ysendijk, preacher of the Reformed congregation in Amsterdam. Above is his portrait in an oval crowned with a skull. Father Time holds a sheet of paper with his date of death. In front of the monument lie a broken torch and an hourglass, and a still burning lamp stands. Two putti sit on the ground with a book. With accompanying text sheet with explanation.
