This 17th-century, anonymous engraving, titled “Penning met een embleem en de namen van de keurvorsten van de Palts,” is a circular piece with a central image of a lion laying down. The circular frame is composed of a complex system of concentric bands filled with text and symbols, such as a series of numbers, coats of arms, names of electors, and dates. The inscription "NICOLAS CHEVALIER IN VENIT" at the bottom suggests a portrait of the Chevalier, a renowned 17th-century Dutch painter. The image is likely a genealogical chart, possibly depicting the Electors Palatine of the Holy Roman Empire. The intricate design and inclusion of dates and symbols highlight the importance of lineage and history within the context of the artwork.
