Vrouwelijke personificaties van wijsheid, voorzichtigheid en gematigdheid 1817

"Vrouwelijke personificaties van wijsheid, voorzichtigheid en gematigdheid," an etching by Martin Speer, depicts three female figures representing the virtues of Wisdom, Prudence, and Moderation. The work, dated 1817, is an example of the artist's skillful use of line to create a sense of volume and form. The figures are depicted in a classical style, with flowing drapery and graceful poses. This small-scale print exemplifies Speer's mastery of engraving and his interest in allegorical themes. The etching is a fine example of Dutch art from the 18th century.
