This etching by Michel Dorigny, created in 1647, features a highly detailed coat of arms. It is adorned with cherubs, a shield bearing heraldic symbols, and an ornate base. The inscription "VISV ET NISV" is prominent, suggesting a motto or a reference to the depicted individual's values. This intricate design is characteristic of the Baroque period, known for its grandeur and dramatic flourishes. The artwork is a testament to Dorigny's skill in capturing the essence of heraldry and symbolic representation in the 17th century.
