Wapens van 'Willem Fabricius' en 'Salomon van Echten' 1688 - 1689

This etching, created by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe in 1688-1689, depicts the coats of arms of Willem Fabricius and Salomon van Echten. The two shields are surmounted by crowns and crossed by two lances, a common symbol of power and protection. The detailed ornamentation and elegant design are characteristic of de Hooghe's style, demonstrating his mastery of the engraving technique. This work serves as a visual representation of the family history and lineage of these two prominent figures, showcasing the intricate symbolism of heraldry. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and social context of 17th-century Netherlands.
