Allegorische figuren bij een triomfboog 1677

This engraving by Christiaan Hagen, dated 1677, features a collection of allegorical figures standing beneath a triumphal arch. The figures appear to be representing various aspects of learning and knowledge, depicted through their attributes and gestures. The central figure holds a globe, symbolizing the world, while a woman below is seen sketching, possibly representing art and observation. The engraving, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch art and embodies the intellectual spirit of the era.
