"Allegorie op de wetenschappen" is a red chalk drawing created between 1675 and 1730 by Dutch artist Jan Hoogsaat. The drawing depicts a group of figures representing the sciences. A central female figure, likely representing Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, stands at the center of the composition. The figures are arranged in a semi-circular formation, suggesting the importance of the sciences and their interconnectedness. This artwork is a testament to Hoogsaat's skill as a draftsman and his interest in allegorical representations.
