Hubert François Gravelot

Gravelot's design was probably intended for a book illustration, although no related publication can be identified.A classical female figure, perhaps signifying Prudence, is shown seated at a table with an hourglass in front of a curtain, writing on a scroll, with a snake and mirror at her feet. A large group of people fill a hall with a colonnade in the background, and there is a bust of a bearded man at the far right.
