"Pallas Athena" is a pen and ink drawing by Catharina Kemper from 1813. The artwork depicts the Greek goddess Athena, known for wisdom and warfare, in her traditional attire, wearing a helmet and holding a spear. The detailed lines and the delicate shading bring out the classical beauty of Athena. This drawing is a fine example of Neoclassical art, which was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
