Painting of a seated woman and a red-cloaked warrior with cupids sorting piled weapons and armor, under a stormy sky.

Allegory of Peace

A seated woman in a yellow-green gown and floral garland sits at center beside a red-cloaked, helmeted warrior, with a standing figure in dark clothing holding a sword behind them. Cupids work among the weapons: one sorts a heap of helmets, shields and spears on the ground, while another flies at left under a dark, stormy sky.
