Temperance n.d.

This anonymous drawing, titled "Temperance," depicts a female figure personifying the virtue of temperance. The figure is positioned within a classical architectural setting, drawing parallels between the ancient world and Christian virtues. She stands with an air of calm composure, her drapery flowing elegantly around her. The detailed rendering of the figure's features and the intricate folds of her garments exemplifies the artist's skill and the precision of the Italian Renaissance style. This drawing, now held by The Art Institute of Chicago, provides insight into the visual representation of virtues during this period.
