The choleric temperament (the element fire)

Representation of the choleric temperament in the form of a middle-aged man in a combative posture (a warrior), with a helmet on his head, a shield in his left hand, a dagger in his right hand. Behind him a drum, to his right a forked staff with a burning fuse and a musket, in front of his feet a sword and a glove. In the background a number of burning buildings. Below the representation two lines of text in Latin. This print is part of a series of the four temperaments, each represented by a full-length figure, engaged in an action and seated/standing in an environment associated with one of the four elements. Each representation has a two-line Latin caption.
