This is a design for a decorative scheme for the Town Hall in Amsterdam by A. Verkerk, 1795. It depicts a central obelisk flanked by two oval medallions, one featuring figures pouring water into a basin and the other a woman holding a laurel branch. The design is embellished with garlands of flowers and a series of white lamps. This is a neoclassical design and highlights the ideals of the Dutch Republic. The design is both elegant and symbolic, reflecting the political and social ideals of the time.
