Nostradamus presents a vision to Marie de' Medici, engraving, 1782

An engraved print shows a richly dressed woman in a wide-skirted gown and a man in a tricorn hat holding a tall banner, both gazing at a swirl of cloud above them in a bookshelf-lined room. Through a draped window, uniformed soldiers stand in a colonnaded hall, with a caption printed below the scene.
