Four Funeral Shields of the Amsterdam Guild of Corn Measurers, Johannes Lutma (1584-1669), 1633 Canvas Print

On each of the two related, cartouche-shaped plates (A and B) is a cornfield driven in which a corn meter is bent over the measure, a basket with grains of grain. In his left hand he holds a shovel and in his right a crossbar with which he strokes the beat. This scene is depicted on the two plates from a different point of view; on A, the corn meter is shown diagonally from behind; on B from the front. The almost identical cartouches are made up of soft parts that have mask-like shapes in the middle of the bottom and top. The city coat of arms of Amsterdam is included in the upper edge. At the top left and right, a grain scoop protrudes from the frame; in the lower edge is a basket with a slat incorporated. At the bottom of each shield hangs on a chain a band decorated with soft ornaments with a roughened ground. On A's is the text COOREN. METERS and on those of B 16 GILDT 33.
