Blad met de familiewapens van negen geportretteerden 1690 - 1713

This anonymous print from the Rijksmuseum, dating between 1690-1713, showcases nine heraldic shields representing various European rulers. Each shield is topped with a crown and features a unique combination of symbols and colors. These visual elements, such as lions, eagles, crosses, and geometric patterns, identify specific families or territories, representing a powerful symbol of authority and lineage. The artwork is a small, yet detailed, example of heraldic imagery from the 17th and 18th centuries, a genre that still holds fascination for its ability to communicate lineage and political power in a visually striking manner.
