"Een zevental hoedanigheden / Ziet gy hier trap by trap bekleden, / Als pligten, eigen aan de deugd / En Godsdienst neem ze in acht, ô jeugd!" is an allegorical print by A. Robyn, dating back to the 18th century. Held in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork depicts a pyramid-like structure of seven virtues, each represented by a woman embodying a different quality, namely "Gerechtigheid," "Voorzigtigheid," "Liefde," "Hoop," "Geloof," "Sterkte," and "Matigheid." The visual composition with its moralistic message aimed at a young audience during the Enlightenment era reflects the emphasis on rational thought and ethical conduct prevalent in that period.
