Prudence, from The Seven Virtues, engraving by Philips Galle
An engraving with a Latin inscription beneath and the label PRUDENTIA. Many small scenes of work fill the composition: a woman carries a long plank, workers stack barrels and bundled sticks, figures sit at a table, and a sailboat rests on water beside a village.
