The composition presents four distinct circular objects arranged horizontally across the page, each rendered with the precision typical of eighteenth-century antiquarian studies. The first figure depicts a medal, while the subsequent three figures illustrate wax seals attached to their original parchment ribbons or cords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iconography focuses on the royal authority of William II. The figures show the monarch enthroned, holding the orb and sceptre, symbols of his temporal and spiritual power. The fourth figure provides a variation, depicting the Count on horseback, a common motif in medieval heraldic seals to denote military leadership and territorial control. The Latin inscriptions surrounding each circular frame are captured with meticulous attention to the gothic lettering style of the original seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelfos was active in the Netherlands during the late eighteenth century and frequently produced plates for historical and scientific publications. His work here reflects the period's interest in the systematic classification of historical objects. The clean lines and clear, monochromatic palette allow the viewer to examine the details of the crowns, the drapery of the royal robes, and the texture of the binding cords. By isolating these objects against a plain background, the artist removes them from their original administrative context, allowing for a focused study of their design and symbolic content. This print serves as a record of medieval material culture, preserved through the technical rigour of the Enlightenment era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/grotesque-head-in-high-fur-cap-david-deuchar\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGrotesque Head in High Fur Cap - David Deuchar — David Deuchar\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-mary-fraser-tytler-george-frederick-watts\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Mary Fraser Tytler - George Frederick Watts — George Frederic Watts\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abraham Delfos","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443213144399,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443220582735,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443220615503,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443220648271,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443220681039,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443220713807,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443220746575,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443220779343,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443220812111,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443220844879,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443220877647,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443220910415,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Penning-en-drie-zegels-met-Willem-II_Poster_CompositorV1_1786221295348.jpg?v=1786408251","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/penning-en-drie-zegels-met-willem-ii-abraham-delfos","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
