About this work

The crowned coat of arms of Orange-Nassau is carried by two putti and flanked by a veiled woman with a censer and a lady playing a harp wrapped in a starry robe and crowned with a laurel wreath. Above the coat of arms shines the All-Seeing Eye; to the left stands a second veiled woman next to a stork, an eagle, and a lion. In the foreground lies, next to a burning altar with the inscription "Christus Verdiensten" (Christ's Merits), an open book with the words "Dank vast en bede offer door I. Maan" (Thank steadfast and prayer sacrifice by I. Maan).
