This engraving, created by Etienne Fessard in 1757, showcases Sainte Geneviève, a prominent figure in French history and faith. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, depicts her in a solemn pose, holding a book and a staff, with a lamb at her feet. The inscription, "STE. GENEVIEVE DES ARDENTS", clearly identifies the subject. This image likely serves as a visual representation of the chapel dedicated to her, highlighting her significance in the realm of religious art.
