Scene with Misericordia and Veritas in a Circle at Center
Theodor de Bry Netherlandish
Not on view
In a circle at center, a scene with misericordia (mercy) and veritas (truth) personified as female figures. In the forefront at left, a seated nude female figure with an open book places her right leg on a globe. At right, another figure feeds the children that surround her. Behind, two winged figures embrace, while the one at right holds a set of scales. Around the central circles, a band with rosettes. In the corners, ornamental blackwork with putti heads.
