"Minerva en Mercurius met wapenschild" is an engraved frontispiece created by Dutch artist Clemens Nachtegaal in 1725. The artwork depicts the Roman deities Minerva and Mercury flanking a coat of arms. The detailed engraving showcases a classical style, with emphasis on precise lines and anatomical details. The artwork likely served as a dedication piece, potentially for a book or a patron, as suggested by the inscription below the figures. This small but intricate engraving reflects the artistic style of the early 18th century and demonstrates Nachtegaal's skill in capturing details and conveying symbolism within a compact format.
