"Dubbele cartouche, in de bovenste cartouche bevindt zich een wapen," is a 1567 engraving by Pieter van der Heyden, notable for its intricate design and allegorical symbolism. A central cartouche, framed by elaborate ornamentation, displays a coat of arms and a Latin inscription that speaks to the inevitability of death. The surrounding visual elements, including skulls, torches, and implements of labor, contribute to the piece's somber and contemplative mood, characteristic of van der Heyden's artistic style. The work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Renaissance era's fascination with morality and mortality.
