"Allegorie op gerechtigheid met Justitia en Mars en Mercurius" is an engraving created by Barent de Bakker in 1765. It depicts a classical allegory of justice, featuring the figures of Justitia (justice), Mars (war), and Mercury (commerce). The artwork uses symbolic imagery, like a globe, scales, a sword, and books, to highlight the intertwined nature of justice, war, and commerce. The latin phrase "Suum cuique tribute" (give each his due) above the figures emphasizes the concept of fairness and justice. This engraving is a prime example of 18th-century Dutch art and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
