"Het standbeeld van de Vrede" (The Statue of Peace), a 1748 drawing by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, depicts the allegorical figure of Peace standing on a pedestal surrounded by discarded weapons. The figure, wearing a crown and holding an olive branch, symbolizes the end of conflict, a sentiment that resonated deeply after the War of the Austrian Succession. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Rococo style with its emphasis on elegance, grace, and intricate details.
