"Wapen van de Zeeuwse familie Huyssen van Kattendijke" is a finely detailed engraving by Dutch artist Henricus Wilhelmus Couwenberg, created between 1830 and 1845. The artwork showcases the coat of arms of the Huyssen van Kattendijke family, featuring two nude figures holding clubs and a shield adorned with heraldic symbols. The inscription "Nec timide nec tumide" ("Neither timid nor arrogant") below the shield, reflects the family's motto. Couwenberg's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the intricate details and precise lines of the engraving. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the heraldic traditions and artistic styles of 19th-century Netherlands.
