Temple of wisdom. The temple of wisdom with two allegorical figures in the middle that probably represent the divine perfection. The sitting woman has a passer on the head and has a shopping hook in hand and a shield on which the alloying eye. There is a book on her lap. The standing woman has a star on the head and points upwards. Behind her is a kneeled man with a blindfold. Amor comes with a key and a roll of paper. For women there is a man with a lamp and there is a trowel at their feet. In the foreground Hercules is on the back of a tame lion with a fascity. In addition, an owl with a spear (Attributes of Minerva) is on a globe with the constellations. On the Bible, which is also located, there are an oil lamp and an olive branch, which is a skull and a chalice. In a drapery there is a putto that makes a gesture to silence with its index finger. His mouth is covered with a cloth. Possibly an allegory on freemasonry.
