"The Five Senses - Smell" is an etching by the French artist Abraham Bosse (1602–1676), created in the 17th century. Bosse was renowned for his detailed prints and illustrations that often depicted scenes of social life in France during the reign of Louis XIII and the early years of Louis XIV. His work is characterized by a keen observation of contemporary customs and a satirical take on the society of his time.

The etching is part of a series representing the five senses, a common theme in art and philosophy during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, which sought to explore human experience and perception. In "The Five Senses - Smell," Bosse delves into the olfactory sense through a scene likely filled with intricate details and emblematic objects that provide insight into the cultural and social connotations of smell during the 17th century.

Bosse's work is significant for its contribution to the understanding of the Baroque period in French art. His etchings serve as valuable historical documents that offer a glimpse into the everyday life and thought of the time. "The Five Senses - Smell," like the other works in the series, would typically be analyzed not only for its artistic merit but also for what it reveals about the period's social norms, class structures, and the role of sensory experience in the intellectual and cultural discourse of the era.

As an artist, Abraham Bosse was a master of the burin, an engraving tool used in printmaking, and he was also an influential writer on technique in his treatise on etching, "Traité des manières de graver en taille douce sur l'airain" (Treatise on the Ways of Engraving on Copper). His prints, including "The Five Senses - Smell," are considered important works in the history of French printmaking and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance.
