This etching, created in 1714 by Maximilian Joseph Limpach, depicts an elaborate design featuring the coat of arms of Pope Clement XI. The central element is a globe surrounded by two angels, each holding a trumpet, symbolizing the Pope's power and authority. Above the globe, two cherubs hold a papal tiara and the keys of St. Peter, further emphasizing the papal insignia. This intricate design, showcasing cherubs, angels, and a complex heraldic composition, is characteristic of Baroque art's focus on grandeur and symbolism. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
