Anna Maria van Schurman is a 1657 ink by Cornelis van Dalen the Younger, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a serious-faced woman in a high-necked dress, seated with two small cherubs at her sides. One cherub holds a scroll, the other leans on a book. The woman’s hands rest on a draped surface, and the background is a dark, swirling oval frame. The tiny Latin text below hints at a story—likely about the woman’s intelligence. The artist signed it as *Cornelis van Dalen the Younger*, and the whole scene feels formal and precise. Want to see more like this? Check out engraving.
