  RENASAIANCE PANEL DEPICTING PRUDENCE. £.  
Allegory of prudence, its ordinary attributes are the mirror and the snake. She has two faces, a young person for the anticipation of the future and an old one for the consideration of the past.

The Snake and the Mirror teaches us about the unpredictability of life and the importance of humility. The story highlights how human beings often indulge in vanity and pride, only to be taken away by the serpent, death.
