"The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouvés in Paris: Religieuses et garçonnets regardant la crèche" is an etching by Etienne Fessard, depicting a scene from the chapel of the Foundling Hospital in Paris. The work, completed in 1757, shows a group of nuns and children gathered around a Nativity scene. The image was created to show the charitable work of the hospital, which cared for abandoned children. This specific scene is likely the second of a set, showing the interior of the Chapel. The image is framed by an archway that leads to a landscape of the Paris skyline.
