Wapenschild van een niet-geïdentificeerde eigenaar 1652

This 1652 engraving by Pierre Nolin depicts a coat of arms with a shield supported by two lions. The shield is horizontally striped, with the design of a crest and a scrolled scroll with an inscription on the bottom. The engraving likely represents a coat of arms belonging to an unidentified owner. This is a prime example of heraldic engraving, a popular art form in 17th-century Europe, often commissioned by individuals to commemorate their lineage and social status. Nolin's signature, along with a reference to "Privilège du Roy," highlights the importance of official authorization for the creation of such works in the 17th century.
