Wapenschild van Cornelis Gijsbertsz. Plemp 1601 - 1657

This intricate engraving by Pieter Serwouters depicts the coat of arms of Cornelis Gijsbertsz. Plemp, a prominent figure in 17th-century Dutch society. The shield, adorned with a crescent moon and crossed quill pens, symbolizes Plemp's family lineage and profession. The elaborate flourishes surrounding the shield, including a helmet and a pair of windmills, add visual richness and allude to his wealth and influence. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the artistry of Serwouters and the enduring legacy of Plemp.
