Wapenschilden geflankeerd door Rechtvaardigheid en Geloof 1723 - 1767

"Wapenschilden geflankeerd door Rechtvaardigheid en Geloof" ("Coat of Arms Flanked by Justice and Faith") is an etching by Jacob Folkema, a Dutch artist known for his engravings and portraits. Created between 1723 and 1767, this artwork depicts a heraldic shield supported by two figures personifying Justice and Faith. The intricate details of the coat of arms, the flowing drapery of the figures, and the decorative flourishes around the shield demonstrate Folkema's skill in etching. This piece, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of the Dutch tradition of using allegorical figures to symbolize abstract concepts.
