”Grammatica (Spraakkunst)”
Grammar is an old teacher among her pupils. Sitting in class are pupils of different ages. Behind, the teacher instructs the younger children in writing. To the left, an older child reads a book. Grammar helps another student with a book next to her. In her lap is a wise stick. On the floor are books by famous writers in grammar, such as Donatus and Diomedes.

(Ref. Volume IV: Portraits, Prints not traced, Rejected prints)
”Grammatica” is the part of the Seven Liberal Arts which are intricate depictions of female figures personifying each discipline, conveying the Renaissance ideals of education and intellectual pursuit. Through symbolic imagery and careful composition, Floris captures the essence of Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy, reflecting the era's reverence for learning and the arts.
