About this work

Portrait of Cornelis de Witt in an allegorical context with the Raid on Chatham in June 1667 in the background. De Witt leans on a cannon. In the sky flies Fame; to the left of De Witt, a woman with a cornucopia. In a frame with putti, military trophies, and wind heads in the four corners. Above and below the image, in handwriting, the translation of the Latin inscription on the frame of the painting that hung in 1670 in the Courtroom of Dordrecht, and after which the print was made.
