G0066: the coat of arms of Andrea Pompili, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The hand-drawn tree shown in this photograph was originally created for the coat of arms of Andrea Pompili, commissioned by Dr Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. Some time later, an art collector asked me for a dedicated hand drawing. I chose this tree because its canopy has a distinctive heraldic shape, setting it apart from the other drawings in his collection, as it was specifically designed to fit beneath the two chevronels. This is also the reason for the handwritten note «under a chevron» beside the drawing, note that chevronel is the heraldic term for a diminished chevron. Before sending it, I inscribed the sheet with a dedication, which explains the handwritten text visible alongside the artwork.
