"Allegorie à la Gloire des peintres de Genre" (1791) by Jean Antoine Pierron is an engraving depicting the allegorical figure of Glory. A winged figure, likely representing a god, points to the seated figure of Glory, who is holding a mirror. Surrounding them are cherubs, some holding palettes and brushes. This engraving is a tribute to the genre of genre painting, which often depicted everyday scenes of life. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
