This 1716 etching by Nicolas Laigniel, titled "Personificatie van de overwinning van de Nederlandse vrijheid op de inquisitie" (Personification of the Victory of Dutch Freedom over the Inquisition), depicts the triumph of Dutch liberty. A female figure representing the Netherlands sits on a throne, holding a liberty cap and a scepter, symbolizing Dutch strength and independence. The figures around her, including a fallen figure representing the Inquisition, reinforce the theme of victory. The title and symbols within the etching clearly illustrate the artistic intention of portraying Dutch victory against the forces of the Inquisition.
