This 1608 engraving by an anonymous artist features a heraldic shield with a crowned eagle, surrounded by ornate decorative elements. The shield is crowned and surmounted by a cherub's head, and the inscription below identifies the coat of arms as belonging to Hieronymo Giullio, Count of Trignano. The engraving's small size (124 mm by 75 mm) suggests it was likely part of a larger collection of heraldic prints. This artwork offers a glimpse into the visual language of heraldry and its use in identifying noble families in the early 17th century.
