Two Angels Holding a Coat of Arms 

This detailed pen and ink drawing by Jost Amman depicts two winged angels flanking a coat of arms, likely a family crest. Amman was a prolific Swiss artist known for his illustrations of costumes, professions, and heraldry. The angels, with their flowing robes and delicate features, embody the traditional angelic representation as messengers of God. The ornate, intricately rendered coat of arms adds to the image's visual complexity and serves as a reminder of the importance of lineage and family identity during this historical period.
