This anonymous engraving from 1721, titled "Tempel der Vrede, middelpunt van het vuurwerk afgestoken op 9 december 1721" (Temple of Peace, center of the fireworks fired on December 9, 1721), depicts a monumental structure celebrating the peace treaty signed between Russia and Sweden. The elaborate architectural design, featuring a central archway adorned with allegorical figures, is likely a representation of the peace monument erected in Amsterdam. This print serves as a visual record of a significant historical event and reflects the artistic sensibilities of the period.
