Vignet met vrouw met lauwerkrans 1810

This 1810 engraving by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock depicts a woman with a laurel wreath standing on a cloud and holding a plate. Two cherubs in the foreground study a globe surrounded by tools. The scene is framed by an oval with decorative elements like books and branches, typical of 19th-century Dutch engravings. The work likely symbolizes knowledge, art, and learning, with the woman representing a muse of the arts. This intimate engraving, measuring just 141 mm by 116 mm, demonstrates Fock's mastery of detail and skillful use of line.
