"Drie medailles" (Three Medals), a 1706-1707 engraving by Dutch artist Carel Allard (1648-1709), depicts three circular medallions. The central medallion shows a lion attacking a lamb, while the left and right medallions feature portraits of two figures, each accompanied by Latin inscriptions. The engraving is characteristic of Allard's satirical style, often used to comment on contemporary political and social issues. This artwork is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
