Chimney piece with three putti: Fama, Libertas and Concordia, Three putti on the chimney piece can be identified by their attributes as personifications of Fame, Freedom and unity. The winged fame floats in the air, blows the praises and holds in her other hand a palm twig, a symbol of victory, and an olive twig as a sign that this is a good rumor. The other two puttui, which are not winged, sit on a rock formation. The left putti strokes a cat. Because of the self-will that is characteristic of the animal, freedom is represented here. The putti on the right shows itself as a union because of the bundle of arrows., Jan Baptist Xavery, The Hague, 1742, marble (rock), h 137.5 cm × w 87 cm × d 22 cm × w 162 kg
