Gerechtigheid of Wetenschap 1763 - 1826

"Gerechtigheid of Wetenschap" (Justice or Science) is a preparatory drawing by Abraham van Strij, created between 1763 and 1826. This drawing, measuring 660 mm in height and 560 mm in width, depicts the lower half of a female figure, likely representing Justice or Science. The figure stands on a pedestal with a plumb bob hanging from her hand, suggesting the theme of precision and measurement, further emphasizing the potential connection to Science. The drawing is a study for a larger work, possibly a sculpture or a painting, demonstrating van Strij's meticulous approach to artistic creation.
