Cartouche geflankeerd door soldaat en Minerva after 1638

This engraving, created after 1638 by an anonymous artist, depicts a cartouche flanked by a soldier and Minerva. The cartouche features two coats of arms, one with a lion and the other with diagonal stripes. The soldier stands on a platform to the left of the cartouche, while Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare, sits on a similar platform to the right. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the intricate art of engraving prevalent in the 17th century, showcasing detailed figures and a complex composition.
