    The bronze statue stands on a pedestal and is framed by a higher, projecting central section. On either side is a wall with corner pilasters and bevelled corners, both sides show a quotation from the satirical piece Palamedes (1625) by Joost van den Vondel:

    ON THE LORD AND MASTER JOHAN DE WITT
    THE COUNCIL PENSIONARY OF HOLLAND
    HIS DEATH, ALTHOUGH UNDESERVED, HOLLAND WILL ETERNALLY SORRY
    HE DIED FOR THE FATHERLAND, A MARTYR OF STATE
    THE TIME AND HAS NEVER TAKEN AWAY
    THE NAME AND REMNANT OF THE PIOUS
    FOR AFTER THEY HAVE PASSED AWAY
    THIS VIRTUE SHINES FOR EVERYONE

    The naturalistic bronze statue shows the brothers in 17th century clothing. Johan wears a calotte on his head and sits on a chair. His brother Cornelis leans against the chair and holds a walking stick in his left hand. The coat of arms of the De Witt family[7] is placed below the statue, with the names of both brothers.
