Allegorical performance with Hercules that Amor tramples, Bernard Picart, 1719 print The personification of moderation sits with her horse toom next to Minerva on a cloud. Together they try to call the figures on the ground to order. To the left of the cloud is a man who wants to tackle moderation and Minerva with a sword. In the foreground is Hercules in a woman (the pride?): A naked woman with wall crown and with a peacock in the arms. She tries to seduce him. Hercules kicks Amor with his arrow and arch to the ground. In the foreground is a card game and is a winged devilish figure in a bag
