Coat of Arms of Scheurl and Tucher Families

Wolf Traut

National Gallery of Art

This image features a central female figure draped in flowing garments, holding hands with a goat-headed creature. On her other side is a figure in armor with horns on their helmet. Above them are intricate patterns of foliage and birds, with grapes hanging from vines. Heraldic shields with symbolic engravings, such as a lion and a human profile, are prominently displayed. Latin text fills the spaces around the figures, providing context to the scene with phrases and classical references.
