About this work

Allegory on the Peace of Rijswijk, concluded on 20 September 1697 between France and the allies. Two sea wagons drawn by sea horses and sea lions in which virtues ride with flags and portraits of King William III and another hero not named, possibly Anthonie Heinsius. In the sky angels with portraits of two mediators in the peace negotiations. At the bottom three smaller images: an allegory on peace, the sealing of the peace treaty and fireworks for the celebration of the peace. On the sheet below the plate a verse in two columns (signed T.A.) and the legend 1-15 in a third column.
