Description
“February” is an allegorical tribute to the hunt: to the left in a niche is a statue of Diana, the goddess of hunting, with her greyhound. Below her are the fictional heroes of a fifteenth century book on hunting, King Modus and Queen Ratio who trample Sloth and Gluttony, thus celebrating the moral virtues of hunting.
