This engraving, created between 1590 and 1632 by Pieter de Jode I, depicts a coat of arms with a bull and other symbolic figures. The coat of arms is surrounded by two female figures, one holding a censer and the other a spear with a bird on top. These figures likely represent virtues or religious figures. The engraving is a fine example of the intricate style of heraldic art popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, showcasing the meticulous detail and symbolism of this genre. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
