This is a drawing of three heraldic crests. The crests are circular and feature intricate designs with emblems and ornate flourishes. The left crest shows a shield with diagonal lines and foliage, topped with a helmet adorned with plumes. The central crest also has a shield with varied patterns, flanked by two helmets, each surmounted by unique crests. The right crest features a unicorn atop a helmet over a shield that bears an image of a mythological creature, encircled by detailed scrollwork. The background is shaded, creating contrast with the lighter shields. The initials "IsP" are present on the lower left.
