Cartoon on the fall of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and the remonstrants, 1619. Imagination of the proverb 'the big fish eat the little one'. Prince Maurits cuts open a large fish 'Barnevelsche Monster' with the Knife of Justice. In the mouth of the fish and in the water there are other small fish with names of the most famous remonstrants. In the foreground, a father points to the scene and teaches his son 'Siet sone dit heb' ick seer lange gheweten / That those great Pisces eat the cleyne'. In the background are the cities of Utrecht and 's-Gravenhage.
