This etching by Johannes Leupenius, created in 1683, depicts two coats of arms. The left coat of arms belongs to Ioris Coopman, a council member and mayor of Schoonhoven, and features a swan as its crest. On the right, the coat of arms of M. Arent Vossenburgh, a council member and mayor of Gouda, features a unicorn. The elaborate ornamentation surrounding the shields is typical of Dutch heraldic art of the 17th century, reflecting the period's interest in intricate detail and symbolism. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the social hierarchy and civic pride of the Dutch Golden Age.
