On the left in the foreground the personified Envy, with snakes on her head and in her hand and a torch and before that a second figure with a mask in front of her face that puts her hand in a treasure chest. In the background a warlord on a column. On the print eight lines in Dutch. Perhaps caesar, to whom Pompey's head is handed over, is depicted here. Title print of (the second edition of) a book by Lambert van den Bos with a total of twenty prints by Arnold Houbraken.
