"Medaillon met de personificatie van de Waarheid" (Medallion with the personification of Truth) is an etching by Jean Charles Delafosse, created in 1768. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a central medallion depicting a female figure holding a torch and a drapery, representing Truth. The medallion is surrounded by an elaborate frame with a wreath, a scale, and a sword, symbolizing justice. On the right, a mask and a stack of books allude to the arts and knowledge. Delafosse's intricate design and allegorical symbols are characteristic of Rococo-era engravings.
