About this work

Personifications of the arts stand around Minerva, who holds the portrait of Fratrels' benefactor, Elector Carl Theodor of the Palatinate (1724-1799). They are accompanied by putti busy with the attributes of the arts, with the symbols of sovereignty (bottom right) and with laurel wreaths.
