"Bronwater als geneesmiddel voor de zieke Actionisten" (1697-1720), a copperplate engraving by Pieter van den Berge (1659-1737), is a complex composition featuring a coat of arms and a poetic verse in Dutch. The artwork's central image depicts a coat of arms with a cherub, a leafy tree, and a landscape in the background. Surrounding the image are poems in Dutch, possibly relating to the coat of arms or its owner. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch art and culture. The print was likely intended to be used as an illustration or part of a publication.
