This is a broadside (a single sheet of paper printed on both sides) created by an unknown artist in 1623, commemorating Prince Maurits of Orange after a conspiracy against him was discovered. The artwork features a poem in Dutch praising Prince Maurits and his courage. The broadside also includes a coat of arms and two portrait engravings of the prince, with the full title “Trouwe Land-Satens-Klacht, ende herts grondighe offer.” The work highlights the importance of loyalty in Dutch society during this time. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
