Temperance

Marcantonio Raimondi after Raphael

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing with their body slightly turned to the side. The individual has their left foot forward, left hand on their hip, and their right arm extended outward holding a decorative key on a ring, along with some draped cords. The person has classical facial features with wavy hair, partially covered by a headpiece, styled back with loose curls falling behind the head. They are wearing a draped garment flowing down to their ankles, exposing bare feet. The background consists of a textured surface with an arched niche creating depth behind the subject.
