This etching, "Allegorische voorstelling met stedenmaagd en Justitia" (1697-1725) by Joseph Mulder (1658-1718), is a visual allegory of the province of Frisia. The central figures, a city maiden representing Frisia and the figure of Justice, are depicted under a tree, symbolizing the province's prosperity and just governance. The inscription and presence of cows and sheep suggest a focus on agricultural wealth. This intricate composition, now in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the rich symbolism prevalent in Dutch art of the period.
