The artwork "Allegorie der Selbstbeherrschung (Mäßigung)" by Carl Blaas, painted in 1859, depicts an allegory of self-control and patience. The composition features a female figure symbolising self-control, dressed in classical robes and surrounded by symbols representing patience and temperance, such as a scale and a seal. The background contains classical elements such as columns and architectural structures, adding to the work's stately and elevated atmosphere. Blaas uses detailed brushstrokes and vibrant colours to create the texture and depth of the painting. The figures and objects are depicted realistically and vividly, giving a sense of dynamism and sophistication to the work.
Carl (von) Blaas (Nauders, Tyrol, Austria 28 April 1815 - Vienna, 19 March 1894) was an Austrian painter. He became best known for his portraits and historical paintings in a classicist style.
