Circular stipple engraving of three classically draped figures in a landscape, one man raising a wreath above a seated woman.

Temperance and Peace

A circular stipple engraving shows three women in classical drapery in a landscape. A seated woman on the left holds a branch, a central figure extends her hands toward it, and a standing man at right raises a wreath above her head. The soft tonal modelling and open sky give the scene a calm, allegorical quality.
