This print, titled "Een zevental hoedanigheden / Ziet gij hier trap bij trap bekleden [(...)]," by A. Robyn, is a depiction of seven virtues arranged in a hierarchical structure, with each virtue represented by a woman holding an attribute. The composition, reminiscent of religious iconography, reflects the moral and spiritual values prominent in the early 19th century. The text below the image appears to be verses in Dutch and French, further elucidating the virtues and their roles within a larger moral framework. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural landscape of the early 19th century, highlighting the enduring power of virtue and its visual representation in art.
