Allegorisch-mythologische scène 1752 - 1819

Jurriaan Andriessen's "Allegorisch-mythologische scène" (1752-1819) is a pen and ink drawing currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a scene with a group of figures in an outdoor setting. A central figure, likely a scholar or philosopher, sits at a table with a book, surrounded by other figures. The composition is dominated by the central figure, with other figures appearing as spectators or participants in the scene. The drawing's use of line and shading gives it a sense of depth and movement, creating a dynamic and engaging composition.
