This captivating artwork showcases the exterior of the iconic St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. Dominating the scene is a heraldic eagle, impressively portrayed carrying a scepter, crown, and orb, symbolizing royal authority. In its beak, it holds a leaf inscribed with Latin text about the depicted church. Adding a touch of authenticity and precision to the piece, a scale is subtly included along the edge.
