DESCRIPTION: This engraved allegory, The Choleric Temperament, was created in 1583 by Raphael Sadeler I after a design by Maerten de Vos. Part of a series on the four temperaments, it personifies the choleric type, traditionally associated with fire, ambition, and anger, through dynamic composition and martial symbolism. The print reflects the late sixteenth-century fascination with human character and humoral theory, which blended classical allegory with moral instruction.
ADDITIONAL INFO: This piece is in a 8.25 x 11 inch archival mylar for handling.
CONDITION: Good condition. Drum mounted onto wove paper, likely at some point in the 19th century.
