Titelprent met twee kinderen met palmblad naast wapenschild 1594 - 1617

This small, intricate engraving by Nicolaes de Bruyn, dated 1617, depicts two cherubic children holding palm branches flanking a coat of arms. The engraving, which is likely a title page for a larger publication, is characterized by the delicate lines and ornate flourishes typical of Northern Renaissance art, specifically in the coat of arms and surrounding foliage. The children, with their innocent expressions and stylized bodies, contribute to the overall sense of grace and elegance in this miniature masterpiece. This work is a fine example of de Bruyn’s skills in etching and engraving, showcasing the detail and precision of his artistic style.
