This allegorical print by Dutch artist Jan Punt, created in 1744, features a central female figure seated in a landscape setting. Surrounded by symbols of knowledge, including books, a globe, and an hourglass, the woman represents allegorical figures like "Wisdom" or "Knowledge". The presence of cherubs and a divine light emanating from the sky suggests a celestial connection, highlighting the importance of intellect and inspiration. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of 18th-century Dutch allegorical art that explored abstract concepts through visual representation.
