Shield of Queen of England

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraved shield with a crown on top. Inside, there’s a coat of arms split into four sections with flowers and stripes. Two lions stand on either side, and a banner curls above the shield with Latin words. The whole thing looks official, like something from a royal family. The artist used tiny lines to create shadows and texture—this is called *cross-hatching*. It’s not a painting but a print pulled from a silver medal, which makes it rare. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one made detailed prints.
