About the piece

Painted in 1642, this oil-on-panel work by Rembrandt van Rijn is a rich allegorical exploration of political unity. Executed in a tonal, monochromatic style similar to a grisaille, the composition centers on a lion representing the Dutch Republic and features masterfully rendered figures and equestrian details that exemplify the artist's mature technique.
