"Merkur, siddende ved vareballer. Allegori på handelen" is a pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard, dating back to 1743-1809. The drawing depicts the Roman god Mercury, known for his role in commerce, seated next to bales of goods. The image showcases a classic allegorical style, with Mercury symbolizing the concept of trade. The drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Abildgaard's artistic approach, blending classical mythology with everyday themes.
