Virtue dispels vices. On the right is the personification of virtue in the form of a man in armor for a classic building. In his right hand, he has a flaming sword with a laurel wreath and in his raised right hand. Left three putti dive away for him. The upper putto may have a lemon as a symbol of sour love and false friendship. The dagger of the middle putto symbolizes wrath and the lower putto drops playing cards, symbols of twist and laziness. Among them a snake, evil, and an eagle as a symbol of pride.
