Personificatie, mogelijk Minerva, op een troon omringd door vrouwen 1751 - 1816

"Personificatie, mogelijk Minerva, op een troon omringd door vrouwen" (Personification, possibly Minerva, on a throne surrounded by women), is an etching created by Reinier Vinkeles, a Dutch artist, between 1751 and 1816. The image shows a figure, possibly the goddess Minerva, seated on a throne surrounded by women, likely representing various virtues or skills. Vinkeles' detailed and precise style is evident in the etching's intricate lines and delicate shading, particularly in the rendering of the figures' clothing and the architectural details of the setting. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Vinkeles' mastery of the medium, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the 18th century.
