Titelpagina voor: Ordonantie ende Instructie op de Stijl ende Maniere van Procederen voor den Hove van Utrecht., 1706 1706

This 1706 engraving by Gilbert Schoute is the title page for a legal text about the rules and procedures of the Utrecht Court. The engraving shows a scene with three figures in a courtroom. A female figure, possibly representing Justice, holds a sword and scales, while a male figure, possibly representing Law, reaches out with a rod. A third figure, potentially a scribe or a litigant, sits at a table with a quill pen. The scene is framed by architectural elements, adding to the sense of formality and authority. This engraving is a valuable historical document, reflecting the legal system and artistic style of the early 18th century.
