About this work

Poetry mourns the death of the writer Adriaan de Kramer. She is accompanied by putti with attributes symbolizing the arts. In the background the funerary monument with the portrait of the writer. In the sky he is laurelled, surrounded by muses. In the frame of the cartouche a view of Amsterdam, flanked by two river gods. On the upper corners putti with Vanitas symbols.
