"Minerva" is a drawing by Jacques-Louis David, a prominent figure in Neoclassical art, created in 1777. The work depicts the Roman goddess Minerva, known for her wisdom and warfare, standing in a flowing robe with a shield and spear. David's meticulous attention to detail and the subject's classical attire reflect the Neoclassical style, which drew inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome. This artwork stands as a testament to David's mastery in conveying the grace and power of classical mythology, further solidifying his place in art history.
