By Volker Ritters
Das Kleinkind ist der zweijährige Prinz Willem III. von Oranien, sein politischer Gegenspieler ist der Ratspensionär Johan de Witt in Gestalt des Kwakzalvers, dessen Schritte von des Prinzen Großmutter, Amalia von Solms, verfolgt werden. Der schwache Holunderbaum, der für den Oranierbaum steht, wird dank der rituellen und spirituellen Bemühungen des Künstlers Dou von dem in ihn einstrahlenden Energiestrahl Atmas mit kräftigender Lebensenergie versorgt, so dass schlussendlich der Prinz (nach Dous verborgen-geometrischen Darstellungen) erhoben wird (und 1672 zum Statthalter ernannt wurde) und dass die Dynastie der Oranier damit gestärkt wird.
Philosophisch gesehen werden die Worte Aporie (Unmöglichkeit einer Problemlösung), und Peripetie (Umkehr) veranschaulicht.
