Klogskab 1595 - 1598

"Klogskab" (Wisdom) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz. Muller created between 1595 and 1598. The etching depicts a nude female figure, possibly representing Wisdom, standing on a rock and holding a mirror. The figure's back is turned toward the viewer, emphasizing her physical form and the contrast between her delicate features and her strong posture. The inscription below the figure is in Latin and translates to "Nature has given her form, her hair is tinged with color, her virtue will taint the mind and soul with its own." The artwork is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
