Johan van Oldenbarnevelt was the attorney general of the province of Holland, an important function in the Republic. He was accused by Maurits of Orange of treason, arrested and condemned to death. He was executed, aged 72 years, and the story is that he used a walking stick to climb the scaffold. The Rijksmuseum holds two of them, one is the real one. Van Oldenbarnevelt was rehabilitated and now the Orange family is full of praise.

On the right you can see a sticker for reserved seats in the Viennese public transport system. The seats are reserved for the categories shown on the sticker. The bearded old man on the left has been dubbed "Dr. Freud", because of his resemblance to the Viennese Quack. You can imagine my surprise when I saw the bearded man in real life in a Viennese tram.
