Etching in an oval frame: a draped allegorical woman beside a broken column, a flying cherub above, and reclining figures among rocks.

Allegorie met Kracht (Fortitudo) en Vrede (Pax)

An etching in an oval frame shows a seated draped woman beside a broken column, extending her arm toward a flying cherub above. Below, a reclining figure rests against rocks, and a laurel branch sprouts from the stony ground at right. The hazy sky and distant shoreline lend a calm, open atmosphere.

Español: Alegoría de la Fortaleza y la Paz (Fortitudo y Pax)

Un aguafuerte dentro de un marco oval muestra a una mujer sentada y cubierta con telas junto a una columna rota, que extiende el brazo hacia un querubín volador en lo alto. Abajo, una figura reclinada descansa entre rocas, y una rama de laurel brota del suelo pedregoso a la derecha. El cielo brumoso y la costa lejana crean una atmósfera serena.

Português: Alegoria da Fortaleza e da Paz (Fortitudo e Pax)

Uma gravura em moldura oval mostra uma mulher sentada, envolta em tecidos, ao lado de uma coluna quebrada, estendendo o braço em direção a um querubim voando no alto. Abaixo, uma figura reclinada repousa entre rochas, e um ramo de louro brota do chão pedregoso à direita. O céu enevoado e a costa distante criam uma atmosfera serena.
