Allart van Everdingen - The Lion and the Lioness Pardon Renard and Order the Other Animals to Forget His Crimes - Kiss-Cut Sticker Design

This design pulls from Allart van Everdingen’s 17th-century engraving, capturing the climactic moment where the sovereign lion and lioness grant royal amnesty to the cunning fox, Renard.

Composition and Engraved Detail

The scene is defined by the sharp, rhythmic line work characteristic of Dutch Golden Age printmaking. At the center, the regal lions command the space with poised authority, while Renard appears in a submissive posture that emphasizes his craftiness even in defeat. Surrounding them, the court of animals is rendered with dense cross-hatching and varied textures, creating a sense of depth and crowded atmosphere. The composition balances the stark, noble presence of the monarchs against the intricate, cluttered silhouettes of the gathered forest creatures, forcing the eye to navigate a complex, theatrical narrative frozen in monochromatic detail.

Courtly Allegory and Satire

Originally produced between 1650 and 1675, this piece serves as a sophisticated political allegory common to the era. The fable of Reynard the Fox acts as a vehicle for social satire, using anthropomorphized animals to mirror the hierarchies, hypocrisies, and power dynamics of human bureaucracy. By depicting the lions pardoning a known trickster, Everdingen comments on the nature of justice, the fragility of order, and the cynical reality that those in power often choose convenience over true morality.

The Silhouette on Display

Because this sticker is kiss-cut to the specific contours of the engraving, the busy, ornate figures of the animal court are liberated from the rectangular constraints of the original print. The irregular, custom outline turns a piece of 17th-century fine art into a singular, portable icon that fits neatly onto the flat surface of a journal or laptop, allowing the dense, historical linework to occupy its own defined space on your gear.

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.
