This etching, "C'est le portrait de Guillery...", by Abraham Bosse (1602-1676), depicts a humorous scene of a man robbing a woman. The woman, carrying a basket of goods on her head, is being robbed by a man holding a sword. The image is full of detail, showcasing Bosse's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and movement. The man's smug expression and the woman's fear are expertly conveyed in this satirical portrayal of crime and social commentary. This piece is a fine example of Bosse's skill in etching and his penchant for portraying humorous social observations.
