About this work

Allegorical representation with a bust portrait of Louis Napoleon, probably on the occasion of his arrival in the Netherlands, June 1806. His portrait is surrounded by Wisdom, personified by Minerva in armor, and Abundance, with a horn of plenty, scattering food to the people. Justice, with scales, and Truth, with a mirror, driving away Cunning and Lies. The whole is set in an oval frame. In the margin the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Holland and a six-line inscription in Dutch.
