About this work
Allegory on the birth of Prince Willem III, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in 1650. In a cradle, the prince lies surrounded by, among others, Minerva, Venus, and Amor. In the sky, Fame blows a trumpet and small angels carry symbols of the newborn's future power. In the landscape in the background is a view of the Vijverberg with the Binnenhof in The Hague. In the lower margin, a Dutch verse in four lines.
