This 1702 engraving by Gérard Edelinck, titled *Penning met drie bustes*, depicts a circular medal with three bust portraits. The central bust is likely a depiction of Philip, Duke of Anjou, as the inscription "PHILIPP. DUX ANDEG. NAT. DEC. XIX. M.DC.LXXXIII." suggests. The inscription translates to "Philip, Duke of Anjou, born December 19, 1683." The surrounding inscription, "AETERNITAS IMPERII GALLICI," translates to "Eternity of the French Empire." The engraving serves as a historical document, showcasing the artistic style of the time and providing a visual representation of a significant figure in French history. The meticulous details and realistic representation of the busts demonstrate Edelinck's skill as an engraver.
