This painting shows a woman holding a pillar, with a calm face. She's dressed in simple clothes. The woman is one of the virtues, and this is an old engraving. The artist made this engraving over 500 years ago. It's interesting because it's part of a set of cards that people used to play a game. You can learn more about the technique used to create this by looking up "engraving".
