Pallas Athena is an oil by Tommaso Conca, held at Nationalmuseum.
The painting depicts a woman sitting on a cloud, wearing a helmet and a flowing red cape. She is dressed in a white tunic and holds a spear in her right hand. The background of the painting is a blue sky with clouds. The woman's facial expression is calm and serene, and her posture conveys a sense of strength and confidence. The use of color in the painting is striking, with the red cape standing out against the blue sky. The painting is an allegory, representing the goddess Pallas Athena.
