Lunette met putti, fasces, adelaars en slangen in de Burgerzaal van het Stadhuis op de Dam 1655 - 1665

This etching, created by Hubert Quellinus in the 17th century, is a design for a lunette, a decorative half-circle. The lunette is framed by two putti, each holding an axe and standing on an eagle. The eagles, in turn, are entwined with a serpent and holding a shield. This work, likely intended for the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam Town Hall, showcases Quellinus's masterful understanding of classical symbolism and his skill in creating ornate decorative designs.
