Zes medailles met voorstellingen uit de Franse geschiedenis 1702 - 1767

This etching, created by Jacob Folkema between 1702 and 1767, depicts six circular scenes from French history. Folkema’s intricate design presents a visual narrative within a framework of ornate ribbons and tassels. Each scene, titled in French, provides a glimpse into historical events like the “Brigandage d’Embrun” (Brigandage of Embrun) and “La Bastille” (The Bastille). The artwork's historical focus and detailed execution make it a fascinating piece for studying the art of 18th-century Netherlands. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
