This engraving shows a woman in armor holding a sword. She wears a feathered helmet and a long dress over her armor. The background looks like a forest with trees and leaves. The text below her name calls her "Jeanne d'Arc" and says she "restored Rem." That’s a reference to Joan of Arc, a famous French hero. If you like this style, check out the technique: etching.
