Measuring at an impressive 114.3x88.9 cm, this oil on canvas artwork is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Derived from Cesare Ripa's Iconologia, Vermeer skillfully depicts a profound allegorical scene that explores themes of faith and spirituality. The central figure is a woman adorned with symbolic elements such as a crucifix and a Bible, representing her devout religious beliefs. She sits elegantly on a chair amidst richly furnished surroundings, emphasizing the opulence often associated with religious art during this period. Vermeer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the intricate folds of curtains and the texture of furniture with remarkable precision.
