The image depicts a mock naval battle that took place on the Arno river in Florence on July 25,1619. The event was organized as part of an extravagant celebration between weavers and dyers, symbolizing their rivalry and craftsmanship. The black-and-white etching, a copy of Jacques Callot's original work titled "L'éventail" showcases the intricate details of this grand spectacle. Trimmed in a fan-like shape and delicately glued to a mount, it exudes elegance and artistry.

It serves as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of artists like François Collignon (1609-1657), who meticulously captured these significant events for posterity. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within one's personal collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an immersive experience into Renaissance-era festivities while honoring centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire awe today.
