About this work
The personified Hope sits on the far left with a crown of boats on her head, an anchor is partially hidden under her garment. Next to her stands the personification of Strength who points her to a third figure, the personification of History. Above these personifications, an angel blows a trumpet to which a cloth with text hangs. In the background stands a gate with portrait busts of Frederik Hendrik and Willem I. Through the gate the entry of Willem IV as hereditary lord of Vlissingen can be seen, where the keys of the city are offered to him.
