The juxtaposition between these two figures highlights the delicate balance between strength and tranquility that is necessary for harmony in society. The detailed illustrations draw our attention to every line and curve, showcasing the artistic skill of Maerten de Vos or his follower. This piece serves as a testament to their contribution to Netherlandish art during this period.
