Schoonheid (Bellezza) geadviseerd door Voorzichtigheid (Prudentia), wijst de verleidingen van Dwaasheid (Pazzia) af 1783

Jean Marie Delattre's 1783 print, "Schoonheid (Bellezza) geadviseerd door Voorzichtigheid (Prudentia), wijst de verleidingen van Dwaasheid (Pazzia) af," depicts three female figures representing Beauty, Prudence, and Folly. Prudence, on the right, is seated and holding a mirror, reflecting on the choice between the allure of Folly, shown with a garland of flowers, and the wisdom of Prudence. The scene, framed in a circular composition, unfolds against a mountainous landscape, creating a visually captivating allegory of virtue and temptation. This print, created through the technique of stipple engraving, showcases Delattre's mastery in rendering subtle details and textures.
