The renowned artist skillfully captures the essence of this allegorical figure, symbolizing self-restraint and moderation. In this masterpiece, a serene female figure is seated gracefully, holding the reins that represent her control over desires and impulses. Her angelic presence is enhanced by cherubs or amorini surrounding her, emphasizing the divine nature of temperance. Veneziano's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique.
