Two pencil sketches of shield-shaped heraldic designs on pale paper, one with a heart-shaped central device, with a faint stamp below.

Coat of Arms Studies by Robert Frederick Blum

Two loose graphite sketches of shield-shaped coats of arms are drawn on a sheet of pale wove paper. The upper shield shows a heart-like central device with scrolled, shaded ornament around it, while the lower one is more lightly hatched. A faint circular stamp and the date appear in the lower corners.
