About this work

Allegorical representation made for the silver wedding of Willem Philip Kops and Johanna de Vos, on 22 September 1745. The loving couple sits, surrounded by allegorical figures, before a temple. Two women hold in their hands the coats of arms with the initials of the spouses. Piety stands by the altar, with her hands folded in prayer. Constancy holds her pillar, which is marked: XXV. On the left in the foreground a river god with putti and on the right a putto with the attributes of Mercury by a spinning wheel. In the sky Fame flies, she blows on the trumpet.
