This is a black-and-white print of a tall statue. The figure stands straight, wearing a long robe that drapes over one shoulder. A helmet with a plume sits on her head, and she holds a round shield on her left arm. Her right arm is raised, pointing forward with two fingers. The word "MINERVE" is printed below, which is another name for the Roman goddess of wisdom. This print was made by an artist who worked in the late 1700s or early 1800s. You can see this print at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
