This black and white engraving titled "Theseus wordt gelauwerd door Ariadne na het verslaan van de Minotaurus" was created between 1793 and 1836 by Philippus Velijn. It depicts Theseus, a Greek hero, receiving a laurel wreath from Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos. The Minotaur, a mythical creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man, lies defeated in the background. The engraving, located in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of neoclassical art and offers a glimpse into the rich mythology of ancient Greece.
