About this work
In the center, a putto sits on a pedestal with an open book in which is written: T Use is the Great Book. Next to him stands Father Time with a scythe. In the foreground, two writing women sit as personifications of the French and Dutch languages. Open books lie near them. To the right, a putto sits with a medallion of a river god. In the background, a square with an obelisk.
