About this work

This image is a black-and-white etching on paper. At the top sits a fancy coat of arms with a crown, surrounded by two small winged figures holding scrolls. Below, two people in old-fashioned clothes stand on either side of a framed text box. One holds a basket, the other a rolled-up paper. The words in the box are in French, with names and titles. The text mentions "Les Fantasies" and a nobleman named Jean Louis de Baufremont. The year 1635 appears at the bottom, but the image itself is from around 1633–1634. The whole scene looks like a book cover or dedication page. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
