About this work

Medallion with a crowned man, the personification of critical judgment. He places his finger on a book and tramples Envy. He is accompanied by Gentleness with a lamb and Justice with a scale. Around the scene the motto: Mansuetudo Tuas Atque Aequum Temerat Iras. Around ornaments with a dog and a cat and a Medusa head in the center bottom.
