This print shows a mix of scenes framed like a fancy altar. At the top, a cross sits under a crown of thorns, with two small figures standing nearby. Below that, a larger picture depicts a robed woman holding a child, surrounded by kneeling people. On either side, two monks in long robes stand with their hands clasped, looking upward. The text at the bottom reads *"Miracles et graces de N. Dame de bon Secours les Nancy,"* hinting this celebrates a local religious story. The intricate borders and detailed figures suggest careful craftsmanship. Want to know more? Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
