About this work

The personified Philosophy, with a crown of stars above her head, shakes hands with Religion, who points to the Bible. Behind them stand Hope (Spes) and Faith (Fides). On the right in the foreground Charity (Caritas) who points children to the tables of the law. On the left the female personifications of the seven liberal arts. With a blank margin.
