Description
English: In a fashionable upper-middle class interior, a mother receives her new infant daughter from the "foster mother" while siblings and friends look on. The mother reclines in a stylish four-poster "box-shaped" bed (popular 1625-75) with hangings and coverings matching the upholstery on the nearby chair. Cups with ostrich feathers crown the four bedposts. A servant sets a table with tarts and fruits to celebrate the event. On the back wall, a tapestry depicting Diana, the protectress of childbirth and goddess of chastity (like Daphne, her arms are turning into laurel leaves). Scene is surrounded by a palmette-decorated frame.

Notes
  • Type: Print
  • Inscribed: Inscribed in plate, lower margin, left: Ayant apprehende quelque danger de mort,/ Ma peine s'est changee en un bon heur extreme,/ Puis que mon cher enfant que j'estime si fort/ Libre du tout peril a receu le baptesme./ In center: Mademe vostre fille est maintenent Chrestienne,/ Elle a receu le nom de Marie aujourdhuy,/ Je prie Dieu pour elle, afin qu'il la maintienne,/ Et vous pareillement, sans peine, et sans ennuy./ At right: Puisse un jour celle fille à la gloire des siens,/ Se fair renommer aussy sage que belle,/ Et se voir à la fin au comble de tous biens,/ Voila quels sont les veux que nous faisons pour elle. [Having feared death, my pain is changed to good luck since my child who I love so much is free from danger and has received baptism. Madame, your daughter is now a Christian. She received the name of Mary today. I pray to God that he will keep her and you free from difficulty and vexation. Make this young girl the glory of her family. Make her famous, as wise as she is beautiful and see that she is overwhelmed with good things. These are the wishes that we make for her.] Underneath in one line: Le retour de Baptesme faict par Abraham Bosse et ce vendent à Paris chex luy en l'isle du Palais proche le pont neuf. [The return from Baptism made by Abraham Bosse and this is sold in Paris at his place on the Isle du Palais near the Pont Neuf.]
