This etching, "Diverses Pieces de Serruriers, page 3 (recto)," from 1658 to 1668, is a page from a larger work by French artist Jean Berain (1640-1711). The etching depicts a formal dedication to Monsieur Longue, likely a prominent figure in the French court, with a coat of arms and elaborate calligraphy. This page demonstrates Berain's talent for ornate design and decorative elements, which he is known for. It was likely meant to showcase Berain's skills and contribute to the visual culture of the time. The page is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
