Allegorie op Vrijheid en Vrede c. 1752 - 1819

This is a sketch by Jurriaan Andriessen, a Dutch artist active during the late 18th century, titled "Allegorie op Vrijheid en Vrede." This small work, measuring only 110 mm in height and 70 mm in width, shows a central female figure, likely representing Liberty or Peace, flanked by two smaller figures. The composition hints at a larger scene, possibly a mural or a decorative panel. The figures are depicted in a simplified style, suggesting a preliminary drawing for a more elaborate work. The artist's inscription below the sketch indicates its purpose and its connection to the artist's broader oeuvre. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
