"Religie, Minerva en Vrede bij wapen van Claude Auvery," is an etching and engraving by an anonymous artist, dating from 1608-1688. The work depicts three figures: "Religion" holding a cross, "Minerva" sitting with a helmet and shield, and "Peace" holding an olive branch. The figures stand beside the coat of arms of Claude Auvery, a Dutch nobleman. The composition is typical of allegorical prints of the period and highlights the values of faith, wisdom, and peace. This print is a valuable example of allegorical art and heraldic design, reflecting the ideals of the time. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
