This 1747 drawing by Louis Fabritius Dubourg, entitled "Allegorische cartouche met Prudentia, Minerva en eroten," depicts a circular cartouche with a central blank space surrounded by allegorical figures. The cartouche is flanked by the figures of Prudentia, Minerva, and a pair of erotes (cupids). The figures are depicted in a dramatic, swirling composition, suggesting movement and energy. The drawing, part of a set of 43, showcases Dubourg's skill in drawing and his knowledge of classical mythology. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
