Caption and print note Athena is the goddess seen from behind, as explicitly identified by the museum. This is a small oil-on-copper painting, not a large canvas. Keep its 1602 date and do not conflate it with other versions of the same subject by Wtewael. The selected file is the whole composition, not an alternate detail.
