This anonymous 17th-century engraving depicts the monumental tombs of Dutch admirals Isaac Sweers and Abraham van der Hulst, located in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam. The intricate designs showcase the high status of these naval heroes. The top engraving shows a coat of arms surrounded by angels, while the lower engraving features a complex arrangement of figures, possibly symbolizing the admirals' victories. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into Dutch funerary art and the commemoration of national heroes in the 17th century.
