This artwork depicts the heraldic shield of Jacob of Luxemburg, Lord of Fiennes, who was a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece. It was painted by Pierre Coustain around 1481. The shield itself is divided into four quarters, displaying a red lion, a starburst pattern, and a golden ram crest, all against a dark background. The shield is encircled by the Golden Fleece collar, a symbol of honor and chivalry. The details and flourishes in the artwork are characteristic of the Late Gothic style, and the artwork showcases the artistry of the artist, Pierre Coustain, in rendering heraldic designs with meticulous detail.
