This engraving, titled *Rechtvaardigheid (Justitia)*, depicts the Roman goddess of justice. The anonymous artist created the work between 1601 and 1652, showcasing a female figure holding scales in one hand and a sword in the other, symbolizing justice and power. The scene takes place outdoors, with a landscape in the background. This engraving, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the *engraving* genre and a testament to the enduring power of classical symbolism in art.
