This etching, *Minerva verschijnt in de gedaante van Telemachus aan Odysseus* (1632-1633), depicts a scene from Homer's *Odyssey*. It shows the Greek goddess Minerva, disguised as Telemachus, revealing herself to Odysseus. The etching, created by Theodoor van Thulden (1606-1669), uses strong lines to emphasize the muscular forms of the figures and the dramatic composition. This etching is a fine example of van Thulden's skill in capturing the essence of mythological narratives through his masterful use of line and composition.
