Coats of arms on the tent from An Allegory of Intemperance

The coat of arms on top of the tent can be identified… as being that of the de Bergh family in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and The Hague [Renesse, 1900, 254; Rietstap, 1861, 172]. Brans [Brans, 1948, 44] believes the coat of arms is that of the young man shown in the tent and that it alludes to the corruption of nobility. (p. 208)
