This is a line drawing by English artist John Flaxman, created for the illustration of John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress". The scene depicts Christian, a central character in Bunyan's allegory, being greeted by several women, each representing virtues like Discretion, Charity, and Prudence. Flaxman's Neoclassical style is evident in the simple lines and graceful forms. The drawing's simplicity and focus on narrative make it a great example of a book illustration of the late 18th century.
