This engraving features two shields, one with a chain and the other with a fleur-de-lis, surrounded by a crown and a wreath. The shields are adorned with intricate details, including a crown on top and a wreath around them. The engraving is done in a cross-hatching style, which creates a sense of depth and texture. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall visual interest of the piece. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this engraving, which is a great example of Renaissance art.
