This is a register from the second part of a series of engraved plates by Hubert Quellinus depicting statues and ornaments from the Amsterdam Town Hall. The plates were commissioned by Artus Quellinus the Elder, the sculptor of the works. The text is written in Dutch and lists the different statues and ornaments. This type of artwork is known as a print, and is a valuable historical document for understanding the art and architecture of Amsterdam. This register is a key to interpreting the accompanying illustrations, and the two together provide a complete picture of the sculptures at the Town Hall.
