About the piece
Painted in 1689 by Romeyn de Hooghe, this complex allegorical work depicts the personification of Wealth or the Mint. Seated upon a grand throne, the central figure holds a cornucopia overflowing with silver coins, while the surrounding scenes illustrate the arduous labor of mining and the technical precision of 17th-century coinage. The work is a masterclass in Dutch Golden Age composition, using warm tones and dramatic lighting to unify a dense narrative landscape.
