About this work

An ornamental cabinet with four doors was the showpiece of an interior. The three figures on the upper section represent the principal Christian virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. The two doors of the upper section are decorated with scenes from the Old Testament story of Susanna, who resisted the advances of two elderly men.
