The Triumph of Wisdom
An engraving shows a helmeted, armored female figure standing on a pedestal above a kneeling, bare-chested man and a crowd of onlookers. A winged putto at upper left holds a wreath above her, while scholars and figures with instruments, including an armillary sphere, fill the lower corners beneath a line of Latin inscription.
