The artist is unknown, but the map is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The use of color in the map, with the city walls being outlined in blue and the city itself highlighted in pink, is representative of the cartographic style of the 17th century, with a focus on depicting geographical features in a clear and informative way. This map is a valuable historical document that gives insight into the strategic importance of La Fère and the development of cartographic techniques.
