Johan George Holtzhey's "Family Medal" is a silver medal dating back to 1755 and now located in the Rijksmuseum. The medal features three cherubs, who play musical instruments, sitting on a cloud over a pedestal, with a flame burning in the center. The surrounding inscription references the "Moorburg" hospital and the "Orphan House". This intricate design, measuring 4.9 cm in diameter, showcases Holtzhey's skill in capturing the beauty and symbolism of the time.
