About this work
The laurelled personification of Peace enthroned in the sky with an olive branch and a caduceus. Below her, Minerva receives a spear with a liberty cap from a putto. A second putto offers the Vigilance in the center a book. Far left, a third putto drives devilish figures with a spear into a sea of flames. At the bottom, the Town Hall on the Dam in Amsterdam, completed in 1648, with a portrait of Jacob van Campen and a depiction of construction work.
