This etching, created in 1784 by Reinier Vinkeles, depicts the crowned coat of arms of the Hogendorp family, flanked by a soldier and a bird of prey. The intricate design features a shield bearing various heraldic symbols, including a crowned eagle, a lion, and a tree. The inscription below the coat of arms reads "NE JUPITER QUIDEM DOMINUS," which translates to "Not even Jupiter is lord." This striking engraving highlights the significance of the Hogendorp family and its esteemed lineage. The etching, measuring 68 mm in height and 83 mm in width, is a testament to Vinkeles' skill as an engraver and offers a glimpse into the intricate world of heraldry and family history. The etching is housed at the Rijksmuseum, a prominent Dutch museum known for its rich collection of art and history.
