Amsterdam Drawing Academy medal to Abraham van der Hart 1765 - 1802

This silver medal, created by Dutch medalist Reinier Vinkeles between 1765 and 1802, was awarded to Abraham van der Hart by the Amsterdam Drawing Academy. The medal depicts a seated woman, likely representing the art of drawing, holding a compass and studying a drawing. Behind her, a female figure stands on a column, symbolizing the academy itself. This small but detailed work is a testament to the importance of artistic training during this period and serves as a reminder of the dedication of those who pursued artistic excellence in Amsterdam.
