This anonymous watercolor painting from the 18th century showcases a coat of arms, a symbol of lineage and heritage. The central shield, displaying the Van Gelre family crest, is flanked by the arms of Anna Digna van Gelre's four grandparents, the Van Gelre, Ockerse, De Keyser, and De Witte families, respectively. Each shield is rendered with intricate details, including delicate flourishes and ribbon banners bearing the family names, highlighting the importance of ancestry in 18th-century Dutch society. The painting serves as a visual testament to the intertwined histories of these families, providing a glimpse into their lineage and societal standing.
