Allegory on the alliance and peace with Switzerland

Hercules offers his club to the personification of the Republic of Switzerland. She is surrounded by personifications of the virtues: Prudence, Unity, Liberty, Wisdom, and Fortuna. On the right, Minerva driving away harpies. On the right in the background, the Swiss crossbowman William Tell, who was ordered to shoot an apple from the head of his son with his bow after he refused to salute the hat that Governor Gessler had placed on a pole in the village square as a symbol of the ruling Habsburgs. The scene is framed by two pillars with a list of Swiss cities and a garland with coats of arms. In the margin, a three-line French caption.
