This is a 17th-century etching by David Coster depicting the coat of arms of Tileman van Zeebergh, a prominent figure in the Dutch city of Gouda. The intricate design features a shield with a stylized mountain and waves, surrounded by elaborate ornamentation typical of the Baroque era. The crest includes winged figures and a banner that proclaims Zeebergh's title as a "dykgraaf," a position responsible for water management in the region. This piece exemplifies the artistry and attention to detail prevalent in Dutch graphic arts, combining heraldic symbolism with decorative flourishes.
