Dim stone stairway seen through an arched doorway; a man in dark clothing descends the steps while a small dog waits below, with a spiral staircase at right.

Portal of a stairway tower, with a man descending the stairs: presumably the moment before the assassination of William the Silent in the Ptinsenhof, Delft

A dim stone stairway tower glimpsed through an arched portal, with a spiral staircase curving up at right. A man in dark clothing descends the steps as a small dog waits on the lower stairs, beneath a carved bust above the arch.

Español: Portal de torre de escalera con un hombre que baja los escalones

Una penumbrosa torre de escalera de piedra se vislumbra a través de un portal arqueado, con una escalera de caracol que sube curvándose a la derecha. Un hombre vestido de oscuro desciende los peldaños mientras un pequeño perro espera en la escalera inferior, bajo un busto tallado sobre el arco.
