Bernard Picart's "Penning op de Vrede van Breda" (1718) is a detailed drawing of a medal design. The circular design depicts a fleet of ships sailing on the sea, with an angel blowing a trumpet above them. The inscription "IN NOMINE MEO" surrounds the image, and the date 1666 can be seen at the bottom. The medal commemorates the Peace of Breda, signed on July 31, 1667, which ended the Second Anglo-Dutch War. This design was likely meant to be cast in bronze or another metal, and the intricate details of the ships and angel are a testament to Picart's skill as an engraver and designer.
