About this work
In the center sits the personification of the Austrian Netherlands with a mural crown and a liberty staff with a cap. She holds an open book with the shortened title. At her feet lies a lion with a bundle of arrows. Behind her to the left a woman plays a lyre and another woman writes in a book. On the other side of the open book sits the personification of France with a crown, a scepter and a rooster at her feet. Behind them Mercury flies with his caduceus, an envelope and a key.
