Allegorie op Necker, ca. 1781-1788 1781 - 1788

This anonymous 18th-century print, titled "Allegorie op Necker," is a symbolic depiction of the French statesman Jacques Necker. The image shows Necker being presented with the keys to the French treasury by allegorical figures of France, Justice, and Louis XVI. The print was likely created during Necker's tenure as finance minister, a time marked by economic and political turmoil in France. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a valuable historical document reflecting the complex power dynamics of the time.
