This etching, *Allegorische voorstelling met de drie goddelijke deugden* by Jan Punt, showcases three divine virtues: faith, hope, and charity. Created in 1744, the work depicts these figures in a landscape setting with a celestial backdrop. The central figure holds a chalice, representing charity, while the figure on the left holds a cross, embodying faith. The figure on the right, representing hope, nurses a child. The artwork's focus on religious themes and its symbolic imagery highlight the importance of these virtues. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Punt's skill in depicting both allegorical and religious subjects.
