Item description from seller

ENGRAVED BY W. ROFFE FROM THE STATUE BY J. DURHAM. This print depicts a neoclassical sculptural work titled "Chastity", showcasing an idealized female figure in a contemplative, serene pose. The woman is rendered in a flowing, draped garment that cascades elegantly around her form, conveying a sense of grace and purity. Her facial features are delicately sculpted, reflecting a tranquil, thoughtful expression. The overall composition and styling of the figure align with the traditional neoclassical aesthetic, where classical forms and themes were often employed to evoke timeless virtues and moral ideals. The title "Chastity" suggests the sculpture's symbolic representation of the virtue of sexual purity and moral restraint, which were highly valued in the Victorian era. The woman's composed, inward-looking demeanor and modest attire reinforce this thematic interpretation. This work likely served as an allegorical representation of an abstract moral concept, using the idealized female form to personify the virtuous qualities of chastity and self-control.
