Created in the 16th century, this artwork is attributed to Jacob de Backer or his studio. The composition measures 105.4 x 86.8 cm and currently resides in a private collection. In this piece, Minerva, the mythological figure from ancient Greece, stands tall and powerful as she holds a lance firmly in her hand. A cherubic putto delicately places a crown of laurels upon her head, symbolizing victory and honor. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting Minerva's divine presence. The artist skillfully captures the essence of femininity and strength through Minerva's graceful stance and confident expression. Her nudity represents purity and vulnerability while emphasizing her connection to classical mythology.
