This anonymous engraving, created between 1721 and 1723, features two medallions honoring Pieter Adriaensz. van der Werff, a Dutch mayor of Leiden. The medallions showcase a profile portrait of van der Werff, accompanied by inscriptions in Dutch praising his leadership and service during a time of great hardship. The engravings provide a glimpse into the life and accomplishments of this significant figure, highlighting his contributions to the city of Leiden.
