About this work
This second, worked out drawing served as the model for the engraver. In this definitive design it is clear to see that Mars, the god of war, presents a sword to Frederick Henry. Above them, Fame trumpets the prince’s glory. Concord, with arrows representing the seven Dutch provinces, Navigation, the provider of wealth, and Liberty with her hat on a stick can also be recognized.
