This allegorical engraving, created by Johannes Steyn in 1837-1839, commemorates Wilhelmina of Prussia. The artwork is a complex visual narrative that combines symbolism and portraiture. A central oval portrait of Wilhelmina is surrounded by figures representing virtues and attributes: an angel with a censer, a woman representing faith with a book, a woman with a shield and a lion, and two cherubs. This artwork is an example of Neoclassical art, with its emphasis on order, clarity, and classical themes. It is a testament to Wilhelmina's life and a visual representation of her virtues and legacy.
