Glass engraver Willem van Heemskerckengraved this glass plate as a wedding present for his son Joost, who married Anna Coninck in December 1685. Engraved decorative letters form the monogram of the newly wedded couple in the centre of the plate. Below, the engraver inscribed 'iuste & syncere', a motto avowing justice and honesty. A suitable adage is inscribed around the rim of the plate: 'Bestand'ge, noit-besweken Trouw, Werkt lyvelijk- en ziel-behouw' (Steadfast faithfulness that does not waver is a soul and body saver).
