Augustin Coppens' etching "Ruïnes in een straat naar de Grote Markt bij het Manneken Pis te Brussel, 1695" depicts a street in Brussels, showing the ruins of buildings and a column with a statue in the foreground. The etching likely captures the aftermath of the 1695 bombing of Brussels by French forces during the War of the Grand Alliance. The title translates to "Ruins in a street towards the Grand Place near the Manneken Pis in Brussels." This etching provides a glimpse into the devastation and rebuilding of Brussels in the late 17th century.
