The Seven Virtues: Hope is a 1510 by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a woman standing against a rough, cloudy sky. She’s dressed in flowing robes, holding a long ribbon or cloth that trails on the ground. Her face is calm, and she’s wearing a head covering. The lines are sharp, and the shading gives her form a three-dimensional look. The name "HOENNG" is scrawled next to her, but it’s unclear what it means. This drawing is one of a series called *The Seven Virtues*, focusing on religious ideas.
