This 1680 engraving by Coenraet Decker depicts the coat of arms of the Luysten family. The detailed etching features a double-headed eagle surrounded by a wreath of foliage and held up by two putti. The coat of arms is framed by a grotto and various figures, including a man with a crown and a mermaid with a serpent tail. This artwork is a fine example of the detailed engravings produced in the 17th century, and it is a significant piece of Dutch artistic heritage, now on display at the Rijksmuseum.
