Allegory of Peace

Italian 16th Century after Giorgio Vasari

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-length figure of a person seated in a semi-reclined position. The person's face is shown in profile, looking upwards with facial features that are softly rendered, and they have curly hair. They wear a loose, flowing garment and extend one arm upward towards a branch of flowers above their head. The other hand rests on an intricately carved surface. The background features a simple arched shape with sketch-like details.
