The Power of Truth, from The Four Strongest Powers
An engraving showing a nude female figure seated on a cloud-like mound above a scene of allegorical figures. A lion crouches at lower left beside a robed woman holding a column, a bearded man with a shield, and a standing woman with a sword. Fine cross-hatched lines model the landscape, trees and figures. Latin inscriptions run along the title band and the lower margin.
