"Egeria Handing Numa Pompilius His Shield" is a notable work by the Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffmann, created in the 18th century. The painting is a historical piece that depicts a scene from Roman mythology, where the nymph Egeria is presenting the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, with his shield. This subject is drawn from the rich tapestry of Roman legends and conveys themes of guidance and divine inspiration in the governance of the city.

Angelica Kauffmann (1741–1807) was a prominent artist of her time, known for her historical and mythological scenes, as well as for being a founding member of the Royal Academy in London. Her work often featured strong and virtuous female figures and was characterized by its emotional expressiveness and refined use of color.

In this painting, Kauffmann captures the moment of divine intervention where Egeria, a wise and prophetic figure, aids Numa Pompilius, who was renowned for his wisdom and piety. The scene is imbued with a sense of solemnity and grace, reflective of the Enlightenment ideals of reason and moral virtue. Kauffmann's composition and the interaction between the figures highlight the importance of wisdom and just leadership, themes that resonated with the intellectual currents of her time.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical implications. It reflects the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity and contributes to the understanding of how artists like Kauffmann interpreted and reimagined ancient myths to reflect contemporary values.

As a female artist in a male-dominated field, Kauffmann's achievements and her role in shaping the neoclassical aesthetic are of particular interest to art historians. "Egeria Handing Numa Pompilius His Shield" exemplifies her skill in narrative painting and her ability to convey complex emotional and moral narratives, securing her place as a key figure in the European art canon of the period.
