Personificatie van de schilderkunst 1756

Etienne Fessard's "Personificatie van de schilderkunst," a 1756 engraving now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene from an artist's studio. The artwork features a female figure seated on a stool and adjusting her drapery. A young artist stands behind her, holding a palette and brush, and is in the process of painting a portrait of a young girl. This artwork is a representation of the personification of art.
