Wapenschild van de familie Behaim c. 1525

This anonymous etching from c. 1525, titled "Wapenschild van de familie Behaim", depicts the coat of arms of the Behaim family. The design features a heraldic shield held by a winged, armored figure, a helmet with a crest, and a stylized eagle perched above. The shield is divided, with a checkered pattern on one side and a blank space on the other. The composition is framed by ornate scrolling foliage, characteristic of the Renaissance era. The etching is a small but detailed piece, measuring 129 mm high and 107 mm wide. Today, the work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
