This is a vintage black and white engraving featuring a portrait of a man surrounded by coats of arms. The man is depicted from the chest up, with long, wavy hair and a beard. He is looking slightly to the right. A triangular frame surrounds his portrait, with the text 'Joannes Baptista Van Helmont' inscribed within it. Around the central portrait are six coats of arms, each labeled with a name: * **Helmont** (top left) - features a white field with a red symbol. * **Bauw** (left) - displays a white field with four red crosses. * **Stafbart** (bottom left) - shows a white field with a cow. * **Renaime** (bottom center) - features a shield with a symbol. * **Ranst** (top right) - displays a shield with a symbol. * **Vilain** (right) - shows a shield with a symbol. * **Hmale** (bottom right) - displays a shield with a symbol. * **Merode** (bottom right) - displays a shield with a symbol. The background is a faded, aged paper texture. The style of the engraving suggests it is from the 17th or 18th century.
