Allegorical Representation on the Occasion of the Marriage of Abraham Buyssant and Catharina des Amorie

The married couple stands on the steps of a classical building. They are crowned with a laurel wreath by Hymenaeus who above them lets a beam of light shine through a ring as a symbol of unity. In front of the couple stand putti with wind instruments and burning torches, symbols of love. The woman on the left, probably the personification of fidelity, offers the couple two keys. The woman on the right holds a cornucopia. In the left foreground sit two river gods. The scene is framed in an ornamental border with, among others, torches and burning hearts. Above the scene Minerva holds a drapery with the names of Abraham Buyssant and Catharina des Amorie. In the upper left Mercury is depicted and on the right sits a putto with a family coat of arms. The wedding took place on June 16, 1720 in Haarlem.
