Ontzet van Arras, belegerd door de Spanjaarden (titel), 1654 1655

This engraving by Nicolas Cochin, titled “Ontzet van Arras, belegerd door de Spanjaarden (titel),” depicts a text in French that reads, "LE SIEGE DA RRAS LEVE PAR LA DEFFA ITE DES ENN EMIS 1654." This inscription commemorates the relief of Arras during its siege by the Spanish in 1654. The engraving, created in 1655, serves as a historical record of this important event, reflecting the artistic style and printmaking techniques prevalent during that period. The use of black and white tones and a simple, geometric composition are characteristic of engravings from the 17th century.
