This detailed etching by Daniël Marot, a prominent architect and engraver, offers a bird's-eye view of the Hôtel des Invalides, a complex in Paris that served as a home and hospital for retired French soldiers. The 17th-century structure features a grand dome, sprawling courtyards, and surrounding gardens, revealing the intricate architectural design that characterized the period.
