Choosing virtue: to left, an adolescent boy dismounts from a horse, surrounded by the four virtues, prudence, fortitude, justice and temperance, holding their symbols; to right, a figure of envy emerges from a flamming pit, and aims two arrows at the young man; beyond, in a rocky landscape, the same man is led by two female figures and an angel, up a mountain path towards two females representing religion and piety; after jan van der straet. 1570 engraving. Date: 1570. Dimensions: Height: 223 mm (image size); Width: 297 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. The Course of Human Life (BM 1957,0413.24)
