Truth, from The Powers that Rule the World
An engraved allegorical scene shows a winged nude female figure seated on billowing clouds, one arm extended downward, while a kneeling group at left looks up toward her. A distant town and rolling landscape recede below, with Latin verses in the lower margin and putti at upper right, all rendered in fine hatched linework.
