Contrary virtues - Diligence

Description

Diligence - part of my 7 contrary virtues series

The Contrary Virtues were derived from the Psychomachia ("Battle for the Soul"), an epic poem written by Prudentius (c. 410). They are the opposites of the popular 7 deadly sins, and are not to be confused with the heavenly virtues.

As the opposite of sloth, I decided to use a very old heraldic symbol of hard work - ants.

20x20cm canvas, acrylic paint - watermark obviously not present on the actual painting. For sale - $10.
