About this work

Portal in a stair tower with a descending man, presumably the situation as it appeared shortly before the assassination of Prince William I in the Prinsenhof in Delft. On the stairs, a dog waits for the man carrying a stack of books down. Above the door to the stairs is a portrait bust; top right, a coat of arms.
