Portrait of Joan of Arc, Tour Jeanne d'Arc, Rouen, Normandy, France

Portrait of Joan of Arc, engraving by Noel Le Mire, 18th century, displayed in the Tour Jeanne d'Arc, or Joan of Arc Tower, the donjon or keep and only remaining part of the Chateau de Rouen, built 1204 by Philippe Auguste or King Philip II of France, in Rouen, Normandy, France. This engraving was inspired by a portrait commissioned in 1581 by the Echevins of Orleans, hence the low-necked dress and slash sleeves, the chains worn around the neck and the plumed beret. Joan of Arc was tried and tortured in this tower. It is a 3-storey building with one room per floor and a pointed roof which was rebuilt in the 19th century. The Tour Jeanne-d'Arc is listed as a monument historique. Picture by Manuel Cohen
