This engraving, created in 1748 by Dutch artist Simon Fokke (1712-1784), depicts three cherubs interacting with a heraldic shield. The cherubs are depicted in a playful manner, interacting with various heraldic elements such as a helmet, a laurel wreath, a flag, and a sword. The central shield is adorned with a floral motif and a depiction of a fish, likely symbolic of the family's lineage. The artwork, a fine example of 18th-century Dutch engraving, is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
