Le dragon qui se void dans le jardin de Ruel c. 1665

This print, "Le dragon qui se void dans le jardin de Ruel", by François Le Febvre depicts a large, ornate fountain in the Garden of Ruel. The image is divided into two sections, the top portion being an elaborate representation of the fountain, with two circular arrangements of jewels. The lower portion depicts the actual fountain, with people gathered around its edges. Le Febvre was a noted French artist, and this print from 1665 is a great example of his work, which is well-known for its detailed and elegant depiction of botanical elements. The piece was likely commissioned by a wealthy patron and demonstrates the artistic flourish of this era.
