Vignette for the Title Page of C. Peregrino, Principes Hollandiae et Zelandiae

Christoffel Jegher after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring animals and helmets arranged in a symbolic composition. In the center, there's a medallion with a hen on a nest above crossed staffs. On either side are helmeted profiles with banners above them; to the left, it reads “NOCTV” with an owl, and to the right, “DIVOYE” with a crowing cock. Above the medallion is a flaming lamp with the word “INCVBANDO” on a ribbon. The style is detailed with engravings and intricate line work reminiscent of classical and renaissance art.
