Coat of Arms

after Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of an eagle perched above an ornate frame containing a pastoral scene. The eagle has outspread wings and finely detailed feathers. A decorative crown is above the eagle. Below the eagle, there is an oval frame among floral decorations and ribbons. The ribbons bear the words "IAMES" and "AVLTRE". Within the frame is a landscape scene with lions in a rocky terrain. The overall composition suggests an emblem or coat of arms, with the eagle and crown symbolizing power and authority. The engraving showcases the artist's skill in texture and form.
