Luiheid (Acedia) 1593

"Luiheid (Acedia)" is an engraving by Jacob Matham, created in 1593, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a personified Acedia, a figure symbolizing sloth, standing in a doorway with her hands folded. A snail on her shoulder further represents her slowness. This artwork is part of a series that represents the seven deadly sins, with each sin personified by a figure. The artwork's details and the figure's melancholic pose effectively represent the concept of apathy and inaction.
