About this work

The personification of Pride sits on a triumphal chariot driving through an ancient city. She is recognizable by the mirror and the peacock. The triumphal chariot is drawn by two horses and driven by the personification of Contempt. Other vices walk alongside the chariot. Print from a series of nine prints with triumphal chariots from the Antwerp Circumcision procession of 1561. The personifications on the chariots together depict the cycle of human action.
