Fortitude and Justice 1560 - 1577

"Fortitude and Justice" is a drawing by Hans Speckaert, a Flemish artist who worked in Rome during the 16th century. The drawing features a series of figures, including two putti, a woman representing Fortitude holding a column, and a woman symbolizing Justice holding scales. Speckaert's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures, highlighting the contrasting poses of the figures. The drawing, completed between 1560 and 1577, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the human form and is a prime example of the meticulous style of drawing popular in Renaissance Rome.
