A king is carried in triumph by Wisdom and Justice. Leading the procession are Theft, War, Plunder and Poverty. In the landscape fighting takes place and houses are on fire. Behind the king walk Peace, Trade and Agriculture. In the background construction is underway and the land is being cultivated. Below the image a four-line verse in Latin.
