]]> A young Philip IV appears seated on his throne dressed in the attributes of power, flanked by 12 lions holding crowns and sceptres, possibly alluding to Flanders. On the steps is a crowned globe held by an eagle, an allegorical representation of the Spanish Monarchy. At the top is a Latin inscription which, in translation, reads ‘sense of power’. At the bottom is another inscription that translates as ‘knows no occasion’. Thus, the full attribution to the figure of the monarch is completed as ‘The sense of power knows no occasion’.
