Created around 1715, the print showcases the grandeur of the palace, capturing its expansive facade, gardens, and surrounding landscape. The artist's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of architectural elements and the surrounding vegetation, provides a glimpse into the opulence of the French monarchy during the early 18th century. This engraving serves as a valuable historical document and a testament to the artistic skill of Pierre Menant.
