Description   

Charity typically holds one or more children. As represented by Mino da Fiesole, Charity and a companion piece Faith appear as young girls in clinging. Typical of Mino's style is the treatment of textile folds and locks of hair, giving these features an ornamental quality different from the softer approach of Desiderio and Antonio Rossellino.
