This etching, created by Dutch artist Jan Wandelaar between 1702 and 1759, depicts the coat of arms of the Slicher family surrounded by allegorical figures. The central coat of arms is flanked by four figures, each representing a different virtue or aspect of life. The scene is set in a landscape with trees and foliage, creating a sense of grandeur and symbolism. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Wandelaar's skill in capturing intricate detail and representing complex allegorical themes.
