Pallas Athena in wapenrusting 1696

"Pallas Athena in wapenrusting" is a red chalk drawing created in 1696 by Hendrick van Beaumont. The drawing depicts the Greek goddess Athena, known for wisdom and warfare, in full armor. The figure stands confidently holding a spear and shield, her flowing drapery contributing to a sense of movement. Athena's helmet, adorned with feathers, and her poised stance, emphasize her divine strength and authority. The use of red chalk for the drawing creates a sense of depth and warmth.
