Shield with Wings, Held by Peasant

Martin Schongauer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a coat of arms with an emblem in the center, surrounded by plumed designs. Two birds are perched on a jagged edge, with a figure leaning over the coat of arms. The figure looks thoughtful, with one hand on their face and the other arm resting on the edge next to a plant. The elements are enclosed within a circular border. The style is elaborate and decorative, typical of heraldic designs.
