Wapenschild met helm en bladranken 1625

"Wapenschild met helm en bladranken" is a 1625 engraving, created by an anonymous artist. This small work, measuring only 64 mm in height and 60 mm in width, depicts a coat of arms design. The image showcases a heraldic shield flanked by an elaborate, symmetrical arrangement of stylized foliate scrolls and a helmet atop the shield. The intricately detailed scrollwork, typical of the period, is a hallmark of 17th-century decorative art. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this engraving offers a glimpse into the artistic and symbolic traditions of heraldry in the Dutch Golden Age.
