Baroque allegory: a seated woman in white and red is crowned by a helmeted armored figure, surrounded by cherubs, with discarded armor on the ground.

Allegory of Peace

A seated woman in a white gown and red mantle is crowned with a laurel wreath by a helmeted, armored female figure, while putti and a cherub surround them. Discarded armor, a shield, and a sword lie at the base of the scene, and a woman with a basket of fruit stands at right against a leafy background.
