This 17th century anonymous print is a vignette of Abraham Verhammen. The artwork features a circular shield, a fleur-de-lis in the center and the text "VERHAMMEN" and "ABRAHAM" surrounding the central image, all under a crown. The artwork also has an initial "N" on a scroll, a shield at the bottom, and foliage to the sides. Vignettes were often used as decorative elements in books or other printed materials, and this one is a prime example of the artistic style popular in the 17th century.
