Knight surrounded by allegorical figures; Christelijcke knight. A Christian knight, in armor and shield and sword, standing on a rock. For him is envy, with snakes and heart. Left next to him is a woman's world that offers him in vain gifts. On the right a man with glasses and book in his hand, philosophy or science symbolizing, and a devil on goat paws with arrow and bow. Above the knight an angel with laurel wreath and palm branch. Book illustration from Bredero, Boertigh, amorous, and Aendigah Groot Lied-Boeck, 1622. At the top right of the page number 23.
