About this work

Allegory on the capture of the conspirators against Maurice, 1623. In the Dutch Garden stand the captured, chained conspirators. To the left, Rhetoric crowns Justice; to the right, a procession of Love and Hope followed by nine Muses. Orpheus plays a cello, the Dutch Lion waits at the gate. In the sky Fame, from the water Triton blows his horn. Below the plate printed in 3 columns of text in Dutch.
