About this work

Pedestal in the form of a cartouche. On it a medallion with on the front the portrait of Gregorio Barbarigo, ambassador in England during the time of James I. On the back only the motto: Aucta Principum Concordia. Around the pedestal three personifications. To the left the personification of Magnanimity: a woman sitting on a lion, with crown and scepter and a cornucopia filled with coins. In the middle stands Virtue: a winged woman with in her left hand a spear and in her right hand a laurel wreath. On her breast the sun. To the right stands Consideration. It concerns a woman with compass and ruler. Her attribute is the flying crane with a stone in its foot. The print is part of an album.
