Allegorische figuren after 1717

This anonymous red chalk drawing, created after 1717, features a scene with a central figure of a crowned woman seated on a throne surrounded by other figures, possibly allegorical. The artwork is encased within a decorative frame adorned with symbolic elements such as birds, a lyre, and a cornucopia. The drawing is a testament to the artistic flourishment of the Dutch Golden Age and is an example of the use of allegorical figures, common in Baroque art, to represent abstract concepts. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a fine example of the artistic spirit of the 18th century, offering insights into the cultural and symbolic values of that era.
