This small, detailed etching, created by an anonymous artist between 1683 and 1783, depicts a coat of arms flanked by two eagles. The shield, featuring a variety of heraldic symbols, is topped by a crown and surrounded by a decorative scroll bearing the motto "Qui me pense, non me sonte contente, quiețe est". The meticulous detail of the etching suggests a skilled hand and an appreciation for the symbolism inherent in heraldry. The piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the visual language of the past and the importance of lineage and identity in Dutch society.
