Reward of Merit for Anna Gerhard is a 1787 ink by John Conrad Gilbert, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows two red, spotted lions standing on their hind legs. Between them is a bright flower with green leaves. The lions face each other, and the background is a simple, light color with a red border. The text below reads like a message: *"Bleibe fromm, und halte dich recht, denn solchen wird’s jüetz wohl gehen."* It’s signed by "Anna Maria Gerhardin, 1787," which matches the year the artist worked on it.
