This 1798 engraving by Dutch artist Theodoor Koning depicts a symbolic title page for the Constitution Act of the Batavian Republic. The artwork features three allegorical figures representing strength, justice, and peace, surrounding a column and a temple. The three figures are positioned on a hill in a landscape, with a radiating light source above them, representing the bright future of the new republic. This etching, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, is a significant historical document reflecting the Dutch revolutionary period and the formation of the Batavian Republic.
