Coat of Arms of Lorenz Staiber

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a heraldic crest. It features a coat of arms with a shield at the center. The shield has two quadrants: the upper quadrant displays a lion and a rope, and the lower quadrant shows a dog. Above the shield is a crown-like structure with a crowned lion holding two flags. Surrounding the central arrangement are scrollwork and decorative elements. The text below the image reads, "Omnia ex Deo veniunt," which means "All things come from God." The drawing is in monochrome, highlighting the linework and shading.
