Kroning van een jonge vrouw door Minerva 17th century

This 17th century etching by the Monogrammist CG, titled "Kroning van een jonge vrouw door Minerva," is a fine example of a genre scene, which depicts a young woman being crowned by a figure representing Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom. The scene is set in a garden, with cherubs flying overhead, and multiple figures surrounding the main event. The artist uses fine, detailed lines to create a realistic depiction of the figures and their surroundings, and the overall composition is balanced and harmonious. The artwork's small size (143mm x 191mm) may suggest that it was intended for personal collection rather than public display.
