Monument for Arent van Ysendyck

A monument to Arent van Ysendyck, minister in Amsterdam, who died in 1818. The portrait of Van Ysendyck is attached to the pillar and the base shows a plaque with a seven-line text in Dutch. The monument is flanked by Faith with a book on her lap and a quill in her hand, and by the grieving Religion. A putto shows the likeness of a church interior. On the ground lie the extinguished and broken torch and an hourglass as a sign of death. On the left in the background stand two figures among sheaves of corn, one of whom points upwards towards the sunlight. The bound sheaves refer to the Last Judgment, where God will harvest the seed or his Word that has fallen into good ground, according to the parable of the sower.
