"Vrouw met een helm bij een halve zuil" (Woman with a helmet by a half column), an 1800 etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816), depicts a female figure, possibly a representation of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare. The figure stands in a classical pose, holding a scroll, and is set against a half column with floral details, suggesting a garden setting. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of neoclassical art, showcasing the influence of classical antiquity on 19th-century artistic trends.
