The Siege of La Rochelle [plate 2 of 16; set comprises 1952.8.97-112] is a 1630 ink by Abraham Bosse, a Baroque work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This image is a black-and-white print showing a fancy coat of arms with a crown on top. In the center is a small portrait of a man in a ruff collar, holding a scroll. On either side, two figures—one holding a spear and the other a globe—stand on a decorated base. The background looks like a wavy, dramatic sky with buildings behind it. The text around the arms says *"Du Roi"* and *"Siege de la Rochelle,"* hinting this is about a historical event. The print uses sharp, detailed lines typical of its time. Look up etching to see how this kind of print was made.
