Allegorische titelprent voor Vondels Palamedes, 1625 1623 - 1625

This etching, *Allegorische titelprent voor Vondels Palamedes* by Salomon Savery, depicts a scene of justice and allegory. The central figure, representing justice, sits on a throne holding scales and a sword. Below, a man pleads his case before her, surrounded by various animals symbolizing different aspects of human nature. The work was created as an illustration for Joost van den Vondel's play *Palamedes*, a tragedy about a wrongly accused man. This engraving is an example of 17th century Dutch Baroque style and can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
