This anonymous painting, likely created between 1665 and 1669, is a heraldic portrait of Rogier van Heijningen, director of Bengal from 1663 to 1665. The painting depicts Heijningen's coat of arms, which features a shield with a lion and a stylized building, surrounded by ornate foliage and a helmet. The inscription "Anno 1665" and the date 08 June suggest this is a commemorative portrait created in honor of Heijningen, perhaps to mark his death in 1665. This type of artwork was common in the 17th century, serving as a record of lineage and social standing, often displayed in homes or public spaces.
