Johann Samuel Nahl’s “Ontwerp voor een kachel met Minerva en Amor” is a design for a stove, created in the late 18th century. This drawing illustrates a design for a stove with an elaborate sculpture of Minerva and Cupid on top of a tiered base adorned with classical motifs. The decorative shield, likely representing Minerva's, and the cherub, represent the goddess of wisdom and love, respectively, both being important elements of the Rococo aesthetic prevalent in the 18th century. The careful depiction of the stove’s intricate design exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistic finesse valued during this period.
