Homage to Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, presumably due to his role in the Renversement des alliances. Centrally stands his portrait bust. Behind the bust stands an owl. The bust rests on an inscribed pedestal supported by a sphinx and a lion. The portrait bust is crowned with a laurel wreath by Immortality (Immortalita). Standing before Immortality is a personification of Hungary as Pannonia, with a city crown and shield. To the left stands a male personification (possibly a personification of the virtues of a good leader) holding scales, a heart on a chain, and an Asclepius staff with three male heads of different ages. He leans on a book. Far to the left, a river goddess, possibly of the Danube. Above in the scene, an angel flies blowing a trumpet of praise.
