"Allegorische voorstelling met Frankrijk, Geschiedschrijving en Vader Tijd" is an allegorical print by Pieter Franciscus Martenasie, dating from the late 18th century. The scene depicts France, personified as a woman, being praised by Fame, who is shown above her blowing a trumpet. France sits with History, who is recording the event. Both are protected by Father Time and the "Genius of France," who carry a sword and olive branch respectively. Martenasie's print exemplifies allegorical artwork popular during the 18th century, often used to convey political or philosophical ideas.
