About this work

Liberty looks up to heaven, holding a palm branch and the liberty cap on a staff. Behind her stands Strength. Heavenly rays shine on the altar, around which a snake coils. To the right sits Faith with the tables of the law on her lap. At her feet lies a dog. To the left sits Justice, beside a cornucopia. In the foreground lie broken chains.
