The female publisher Hélène Audran was active from 1703-1718. Fine engraving showing a landscape with Moses and the Brazen Serpent set on a tree, surrounded by the people of Israel, who are fighting against the poisonous serpents. Charles le Brun (Paris 1619-Paris 1690) painted two versions of Le Serpent d'Airain, a small one in 1649 which is now in the City Art Gallery in Bristol. This one also served as model for a gobelin, which is preserved in Paris, Mobilier national. The big painting was made for the 'Couvent du tiers-ordre de Saint-François à Pique-Puce.' The text underneath: 'Le peuple d'Israel s'ennuiant du chemin et du travail, parla contre Dieu et contre Moise. C'est pourquoy le Seigneur envoia contre ce peuple des serpens dont la morsure brûloit comme le feu: ils vinrent donc à Moise et ils lui dirent: Nous avons peché: et Moyse fit par le commandement de Dieu, un Serpent d'Airain, et il le mit pour signe; et ceux qui aiant êté blessez le regardoient, étoient gueris. Numer. cap. 21'. Paris, chez le Veuve Audran rue St. Jacques aux 2. deux Piliers dor, (1703-1712).
