Paneel met wapenschild van de Zweedse koninklijke familie before 1689

This anonymous etching from before 1689 depicts the coat of arms of the Swedish Royal Family, framed by a laurel wreath and flanked by two figures, one on each side. The central shield displays the heraldic symbols of the Swedish monarchy, including a lion, a griffin, and a crown. The figures on either side of the coat of arms likely represent strength and power, symbolizing the protective nature of the monarchy. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a historical document providing insight into the visual language of heraldry during the 17th century.
