Vignette for a Book Dedicated to Pope Urban VII is a 1613 ink by Netherlandish 17th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows two bearded men in robes, holding keys and a papal tiara. Between them is a blank shield with swirling decorations. The men stand on either side of a tall, ornate frame, which looks like a coat of arms. One man holds a key in his left hand, while the other has a scroll or staff in his right. The empty shield suggests this was meant for a specific person’s coat of arms, but it was never filled in. The keys and tiara hint at a connection to the Pope.

This artist was born in the Netherlands in the early 1600s and made drawings and engravings.
