Adriaen Collaert - Pendant Design with a Fish Carrying Tobias and the Angel - 1582 - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design showcases a masterful 16th-century engraving by Adriaen Collaert, depicting the biblical narrative of Tobias and the Angel set within an intricate, sculptural pendant form.

Design Composition and Detail

The composition centers on the figures of the young Tobias and the Archangel Raphael, who are supported by the curved, muscular body of a large fish. Collaert utilizes the rigid, ornamental structure of a Renaissance pendant to frame the scene, incorporating elaborate scrollwork, leaf motifs, and hanging pearls that bleed into the background. The engraving relies on dense, rhythmic hatching to define the volume of the fish and the delicate drapery of the angel’s robes, creating a high-contrast aesthetic that emphasizes the metallic, jeweler-crafted nature of the original source.

Historical Iconography

Dating to 1582, this work represents the Flemish Northern Renaissance obsession with combining biblical storytelling and decorative arts. The iconography draws from the Book of Tobit, where the fish serves as a miraculous vehicle for healing and protection. By presenting this scene as a pendant design, Collaert elevates a spiritual narrative into a functional, luxury object, blurring the lines between a devotional print and a goldsmith’s blueprint. It captures a moment where printmaking functioned as a design sourcebook for artisans of the era.

On the Sticker

The kiss-cut format allows this complex, ornate engraving to exist as a standalone silhouette, removing the rectangular borders of the original paper print. By contouring directly to the edges of the pendant design, the sticker functions as a portable, flattened relic. The precise outline isolates the intricate metalwork and the swirling, dynamic figures, effectively transforming a centuries-old technical drawing into a sharp, graphic accent for flat surfaces.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
