Minerva (painting)

Minerva is a 1635 oil on canvas painting by Rembrandt, now in a Canadian private collection. Its earliest recorded owner was (1674-1709) owner of 'The Drum' in Edinburgh. It remained in the possession of the Somerville family until Louisa Harriet Somerville's death in 1923. On 21 November 1924 it was auctioned at Christie's in London to either the New York art dealer Lewis and Simmons or to a Mr Smith. It was later owned by the Duveen Brothers and in 1929 by Jules Bache. Soon afterwards it was acquired by the Hungarian collector Marcell Nemes in Munich. His collection was auctioned off by Helbin in Munich between 16 and 19 June 1931.
