This 1650 etching, created by Gilles Rousselet, depicts two angels holding up a banner inscribed with a dedication to Marie Catherine de la Roche, Countess of Soucy. The banner features the arms of the Countess of Soucy. This etching is characteristic of Rousselet's work, which frequently used classical motifs and elaborate ornamentation. The use of text within the artwork provides context to the image, making it a clear example of Baroque art. It was likely commissioned as a commemorative piece, capturing the power and grandeur of the French court.
