Personificatie van de provincie en het graafschap Henegouwen 1648

This engraving by Jean de la Barre from 1648 depicts the personification of the province and county of Hainaut, a region in present-day Belgium. The figure is seated on a lion, holding four flags representing different cities within Hainaut. The image is part of a larger work "Annales de la province et comte d'Haynau," a historical account of the region. The engraving demonstrates the artist's skill in rendering details of architecture, clothing, and heraldry, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of 17th-century Europe.
