Description: | 'This picture is related to a drawing by Hendrik Goltzius of Faith which comes from a series of the Cardinal Virtues. The approach, however, is an unusual one in Netherlandish art as Faith is normally placed along with Hope and Charity as one of the three main Christian virtues. Here, Faith holds a crucifix in her right hand and the chalice symbolising the Sacrament in her left. It is likely that the painting was produced by Goltzius himself. The painting ... is an interesting example of Dutch Mannerism of the early 17th century, owing everything to Italian models, and little to the Northern tradition.'
