Plaquette van gips, ontwerp voor een penning: trekpaarden met opschrift SIC VOS NON VOBIS 1876 - 1947

This plaster plaque, created by Dutch artist Lambertus Zijl between 1876 and 1947, is a design for a medal. The circular piece depicts a scene of draught horses pulling a cart, with the Latin inscription "Sic Vos Non Vobis" (meaning "Thus you for others, not for yourselves") at the bottom. Zijl's work often explored themes of labor and social justice, making this piece a poignant commentary on the plight of working animals. The inscription suggests a sense of sacrifice and the burdens carried by those who serve others. This design, although never realized as a medal, captures Zijl's interest in both classical themes and contemporary social issues.
