About this work
The personification of Liberality (Liberalitas) sits on a stone and gives money to a beggar. She stands with her foot on the personification of Avarice (Avaritia) who lies on the ground before her with a money chest under her arm and a purse. On the headgear of Avarice is depicted a tortoise. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a series on virtues and vices.
