Painted Wall Hanging with Peace

Trompe l'oeil: a white marble sculpture in a brown marble niche. Above the niches, representations are also depicted in trompe l'oeil, in grisaille on a black ground. Peace with a palm branch and a cornucopia as attributes. At her left foot, the nest of an kingfisher. The pedestal of the column on which Peace rests is signed and dated: Jn. Andriessen inv. & fec. 1786. This signature and date is painted as if chiseled into the pedestal of the column. The niche is decorated at the top with a laurel wreath. In the frieze above, the painter, sculptor, and probably poet arts offer their arts to Peace.
