I am pleased to send you this engraving entitled: Cognitio. The scene, allegorical and mythological, shows us the seat of the nine muses on Mount Helicon, presided over by the Gods Apollo ─identified by his luminous aura and his harp─ and Pallas Athena ─who appears in the upper left corner on a cloud, with a helmet and a spear.
