The personification of Humility (Humilis Animus) sits on a chair, a shepherd's staff and a cleft heart in her hands. At her feet lies a sheep and sits Peace (Pax): a girl holding an olive branch. In the background peasant life and shepherds in the field. The print has a Latin caption and is part of a series on human action.
