"Toneel met Bellona" is a small, detailed woodcut by Antoni van Leest, created between 1578 and 1579. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Bellona, standing on a stage, with two attendants on either side. Bellona is holding a jar, pouring liquid from it, symbolizing her association with war and bloodshed. The scene is framed by ornate architectural elements, including lions and garlands. This woodcut showcases the meticulous detail and craftsmanship characteristic of Netherlandish art during the Renaissance.
