This engraving, created by French artist Sébastien Leclerc I in 1698, depicts Aubouin presenting a book to the Duke of Burgundy. The scene is set in an interior room, likely a royal library or study, and the artwork is a fine example of 17th-century French engraving, notable for its intricate details and the depiction of an important historical moment. The inscription at the top provides context: "Ludovicus fecit. Philippus dono dedit. Carolus rifit," which translates to “Louis made it. Philip gave it as a gift. Charles laughed.” The image, "Aubouin apportant des livres aux Princes," emphasizes the cultural significance of books in 17th-century European society.
