View from the right bank of the Rhine to the Rhine Falls, including the river section, which extends through the Laufen Castle built on the heights to the Wörth Castle built on a small island in the Rhine. On the bank in the foreground, the personification of Hope stands half to the right in a long, breastless robe and rests with her right shoulder on a ship's anchor on the ground, which she grasps with her left. She looks up to the left at heavenly rays shining through a group of clouds and holds out her right hand with an open hand. At the top, there is an arched scroll with the motto.
Lettering: DEVS ‣ SPES ‣ NOSTRA ‣ EST ‣
Translation: God is our hope.
