Allegory on the Battle of Waterloo, 1815

Allegory of the victory of the allies in the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. Four soldiers stand at the altar of peace: a Prussian and a Dutchman, also a Brit or Scot and a Hanoverian or Brunswicker. The Dutchman points to a pillar on the right bearing the arms of the allies and a depiction of the capture of Napoleon's traveling carriage. From the clouds, Peace looks down with a cornucopia. In the foreground, symbols of trade and the arts. In the caption, a four-line verse. See also the drawing and the pendant.
