Rechtvaardigheid toont de heilige kroon 1574

This engraving, *Rechtvaardigheid toont de heilige kroon*, by Wierix, depicts Justice bestowing a crown upon a seated woman. The figure of Justice is identifiable by her scale and sword, as well as her crown. Created in 1574, the piece exemplifies the Northern Renaissance style with its fine detail and focus on allegorical representations. The inscription below the image highlights Justice's role in upholding moral order and punishing wrongdoers. This small-scale work from the Rijksmuseum is a testament to Wierix’s artistic skill in capturing intricate details and symbolic meaning within a limited format.
