Zittende vrouwelijke personificatie met genius 1844 - 1911

This 19th-century drawing, created by the Dutch artist Gustav Eilers, depicts a seated female figure representing Genius. The figure is adorned with a wreath and draped in a flowing robe, while a cherub hovers above holding torches. The intricate details and the elegant composition of the drawing evoke a sense of classical grandeur, reflecting the artist's mastery of Neoclassical style. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a fine example of Eilers' work, which often explored themes of mythology and allegory.
