Engraving of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange. Whole length with beard, lace collar, armour, and with sash over right shoulder. An allegorical scene in which the Prince of Orange stands on the head of a fallen masked figure lying beside the lion of the Netherlands, to the right the female embodiment of the Netherlands approaches the Prince bearing a laurel with which to crown him. Behind, a group of worshipers are gathered around a religious figure who addresses them from a pulpit under a tree, and a view of Gendt in the background. With a series of seven cartouches on either side of the scene, depicting various Dutch locations, towns, and conflicts, printed from two separate plates, and with Dutch letterpress below. Second state, with the head of the Prince of Orange aged and the background setting altered; for an earlier state see the Rijksmuseum Collection: RP-P-OB-78.786.
