Allegory on Fertile Friesland

In the center on the pedestal stands the personification of cartography, holding a globe in her hand which she measures with a compass. On her upper thigh rests a map of Friesland. At her feet a measuring chain, a round (land) surveying instrument and a portrait of Willem IV of Orange-Nassau. Below it the title. She keeps a watchful eye on Whimsicality (Wispeltuer), bottom left. He stands for the whimsicality the Frisian land has to comply with: a forest could suddenly be under water, because his body melts due to the salt water of the sea. Top left his head a shield with the arms of Friesland (with diagonal bars and tulip leaves). The threat of the sea is depicted bottom right by an unruly Neptune (Sea Lord). Left and right of Cartography more figures related to Friesland and her fertile nature, fishing and agriculture. Left, with her arm leaning on a jug from which water flows, a river goddess (River Lady) with to her right the personification of fishing (Fishing).
