The Ingenuity rewards the diligence and punishes laziness, Cornelis Bos (attributed to), c. 1540 - before 1544 Canvas Print

Young half-naked female personification of the Ingenuity (Solertia) holds up an inkwell for a writing (or drawing) naked man on the right. Next to him is a female personification adorned with a laurel wreath (the Poetry; the Inspiration?). Virtue taps the head of a naked young man on the left with a stick, resting on the lap of a young woman. The landscapes in the background reflect the virtuous behaviour of the writer/draughtsman on the right and the indolence of the figure on the left. On the right in the background, farmers sow and harvest grain; on the left in the background, a man is buying a farm; Someone gets mugged by robbers and there's a gallows and a wheel.
