A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts a central coat of arms. Two winged, nude children with light skin tones flank a shield, supporting an electoral crown topped with a cross. The shield features quadrants with checkered patterns and rampant lions surrounding a central orb. Below, an ornate scroll contains a Latin inscription. Bunches of fruit and foliage sit at the bottom, where a small sheepskin hangs centrally. Line work creates dense shading.
