"Faam met het Franse wapenschild" is an anonymous etching from the 17th-18th century now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work features two angels, one playing a trumpet, holding a shield with the fleur-de-lis, the heraldic symbol of France. The shield is crowned with a crown, emphasizing the power and authority of the French monarchy. The angels' wings and the clouds in the background create a sense of divine presence, emphasizing the importance of the French royal family. This small etching, measuring only 44 mm in height and 54 mm in width, is a powerful example of Baroque imagery used to convey political messages.
