About this work

Pedestal in the form of a cartouche. On it, a medallion with the portrait of Agostino Barbarigo on the front. On the back, Honor and Virtue. Around the pedestal, three female personifications. On the pedestal, Prudence. She has two faces and holds a compass in her hand. To the right, the personification of Virtue or True Honor (Guida sicura de veri honor). This is an angel with a laurel wreath in her hair and a sun on her chest. She holds a shield with the Temple of Honor and the Temple of Virtue. She points to several military wreaths in an oak tree. To the left, the personification of Sincerity: a lady with a lily in her hand and a sun on her chest. She scatters grain that is being eaten by a rooster. The print is part of an album.
