Date: c. 1610 Description: Before us is a skilfully crafted historical engraving depicting a cartographic representation of the besieged town of S. Quentin. The scene is richly detailed, with the topographical features of the surrounding landscape, military camps and defences carefully depicted. In the foreground, tiny figures animate the scenario, and the depiction of the city's architecture demonstrates the artist's craftsmanship and spatial understanding. The artwork serves as documentation of a historical event with a military background.
