The Virtues: Temperance
Etienne Delaune French
Not on view
Engraving, part of a series of oval prints with two theological virtues and the four cardinal virtues, represented by women standing on landscapes, created by Étienne Delaune possibly around 1576. This print represents Faith, wearing a draped dress that leaves her chest uncovered, a halo crowning her head, holding a book with her left hand and pointing with her right index finger to the sky. Behind her is a pastoral landscape, with two soldiers and a horse on the left, and a tree, framing a small town, on the right.
