The Siege of La Rochelle: Plate 3

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white illustration of a battle scene, with the word "VPELLAE" at the top in large letters. The illustration is surrounded by an ornate border with scrollwork and floral designs. Inside the border on the right is a coat of arms with a crown on top, and a shield with a fleur-de-lis and a star. The border on the left side has a bird and scrollwork. Inside the center of the border is a detailed drawing of a battle scene with many people on foot and on horseback, and a large crowd in the background. There are buildings in the background, and smoke rising from one of them. The bottom of the border has a decorative design with the words "Levee du Roy a La Rochelle" written in small letters. The illustration is on a piece of off-white paper with a dark gray background behind it.
