The painting of Chastity depicts a carriage carrying a woman holding a spear and a flag with the image of a lamb. Below her, there is an [[angel]] with its hands bound behind its back. This angel is one of the [[cherubim|cherubs]] from the earlier Love carriage. His arms are tied so he can no longer shoot arrows of love. Among the crowd of onlookers watching the carriage, most people are raising one hand in benediction while the [[Left-hand path|left hand]] is covering their crotch. | The painting of Chastity depicts a carriage carrying a woman holding a spear and a flag with the image of a lamb.
