Allegory on the restoration of Stadtholder Willem V in 1787. Column of honor with portraits of William of Orange, Frederick Henry, and William III, and above them now the portrait of Willem V being hung. At the top of the column, Fame blows the trumpet. At the foot of the column, Truth has removed the blindfold from the eyes of the Republic; further, Liberty, Wilhelmina of Prussia as Minerva, and Father Time. On the left, the Dutch Lion tears apart Discord. In the inscription, the coats of arms of Orange and Prussia.
