This 17th-century etching by Hubert Quellinus depicts a scene of Justice, a central figure holding scales and an outstretched hand, surrounded by allegories of its power. The artwork, titled "Beeldengroep met allegorie op de Gerechtigheid aan de westzijde van de Burgerzaal in het Stadhuis op de Dam", was originally located in the City Hall of Amsterdam and was later moved to the Rijksmuseum. It offers a glimpse into the iconography of Dutch civic life and the concept of justice in the 17th century. The figure of Justice sits on a throne, symbolizing power and fairness. The surrounding figures, including a winged woman, a satyr, and Death, represent the various aspects of justice and its impact on society.
