About this work
Ornamental drawing with five scenes in cartouches. Central: a ruler on his throne before two groups: to the right Justitia with rich people, to the left Christ (?) with poor people. Above Temperantia; below a woman brought back by shepherds to her parents. To the left a preaching woman and to the right a preaching man. In the background the humiliation of Nebuchadnezzar. These scenes set in a frame of, among others, mascarons, children and horns of plenty. Possibly a design for a print.
