Vue du Vaisseau du Roy Le Duc de Bourgogne, Lance a la Mer dans le Port de Rochefort le 20 Octobre 1751
Etching of Le Duc de Bourgogne, a French warship of 60 guns, inscribed in French: "Vue du Vaisseau du Roy Le Duc de Bourgogne, Lance a la Mer dans le Port de Rochefort le 20 Octobre 1751. Dedie a Monseigneur Le Duc de Bourgogne, Par son tres humble et tres obeissant Serviteur Ozanne, Dessinateur de la Marine a Brest, et de L'Academie de Marine." The two birds represent a pigeon pursued by a bird of prey. The pigeon, as explained in an additional inscription below the picture on the left, is about to take refuge in the Duc de Bourgogne's laurel branches decorating the ship.
