Handelsetiket van Govert Ketelaer c. 1681 - 1740

This is a small-scale engraved print by Isaac Vincentsz. van der Vinne, who was active in the Netherlands in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The print is likely from a larger series and features the coat of arms of Govert Ketelaer. The central motif is a cauldron with a plant growing out of it. The image is framed by a decorative banner and a series of scrolls which are characteristic of heraldic imagery. These kinds of engraved prints were used for a variety of purposes in the 17th century, including book illustrations, certificates, and personal identifications.
