Venus, Juno and Minerva is a 1587 ink by Adriaen Collaert, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows three women standing close together. The one in the middle holds a spear and looks calm. The woman on the left holds a baby and wraps a cloth around her waist. The woman on the right wears a helmet with a plume and holds a shield. The words above their heads name them: Venus, Juno, and Minerva. These names come from old stories about gods. Look up engraving next to see how artists like this made prints.
