About this work

Allegory on the birth of Princess Maria Amalia of Nassau-Dietz in 1689. In a cradle, the princess 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 and the family coat of arms. 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 eight lines by Jan Norel.
