Vignet met het wapen van Nederland 1836 - 1912

"Vignet met het wapen van Nederland" is a small-scale work by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, a prominent figure of the Hague School. Created between 1836 and 1912, this vignette depicts the coat of arms of the Netherlands, featuring two lions supporting a shield and crowned by a royal crown. The inscription "Je maintiendrai" translates to "I will maintain," signifying strength and resilience. This delicate yet powerful work exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing national symbolism through meticulous linework and detail. The vignette is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the artistic representation of Dutch identity during the late 19th century.
