"Omlijsting met putti en wapens en godenattributen" is an etching by Dutch artist François van Bleyswijck (1671-1746). Created in 1723, the artwork is a title page for the inaugural thesis of Jozias Dibbetius van de Capelle, which argues against the use of torture. The image depicts a decorative border featuring cherubs, military and legal symbols, and a shield with the inscription "Decus et Tutamen", meaning "Honor and Protection". The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
