This anonymous engraving, *Optocht door de rederijkerskamer Den Aeckerboom uit Vlaardingen (derde deel)*, depicts a procession of figures representing different virtues and allegories, such as "Justice" and "Conscience." The image, likely part of a larger series, is a 17th-century Dutch example of the popular genre of "redelijkheid" (reasonableness) which emphasized moral behavior. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the time and the importance of moral conduct in Dutch society.
