This engraving, created by Dutch artist Theodoor Koning in 1798, is a title page for the *Constitution Act for the Batavian Republic*. The image depicts allegorical figures representing Justice, Liberty, and perhaps Strength, symbolizing the ideals of the new republic. The figures stand on a platform with the initials "B.R." (Batavian Republic) and are surrounded by a landscape with a classical building. The overall design emphasizes the new government's commitment to justice, liberty, and the strength of the nation.
