A putto brings Commerce a coin-filled horn. Behind this, a second putto beholds packaged merchandise. The shipping personified stands behind Commerce and has a hand placed on her shoulder. Behind this group of figures, a statue of Peace (olive branch), flanked by a trumpet-blowing angel, stands on a high pedestal. To the right, a large globe lies in the foreground with a view of a harbor behind it., print maker: Gerard de Lairesse, c. 1670, paper, etching, height 130 mm × width 112 mm
