Gezicht op het baldakijn met de koninklijke tronen op Faubourg Saint-Antoine te Parijs 1662

Jean Marot's 1662 etching, "Gezicht op het baldakijn met de koninklijke tronen op Faubourg Saint-Antoine te Parijs" depicts a ceremonial scene in Paris. The detailed engraving, measuring 276 mm x 394 mm, showcases a grand, ornate structure adorned with columns and a tiered roof, likely a temporary structure for a royal event. The perspective draws the viewer's eye towards the central structure, where figures in elaborate attire can be seen congregating, possibly for a procession or royal audience. The architectural and social elements of the image provide a glimpse into the opulent life of the French court during the 17th century.
