This is a painting of a heraldic coat of arms with a helmet and swan motif at the top. The painting prominently features a shield with diagonal stripes in black and gold tones. Atop the shield is an ornate silver helmet adorned with decorative golden flourishes. Seated above the helmet is a white swan. A scroll bearing the phrase "TART SVIS VENV" twists behind the swan, while another scroll at the base of the painting reads "DE HONDECOVTRE" along with the date "1543." The rest of the painting features elaborate leaf motifs in golden yellow and dark gray on the black background.
