It is not known when this painting became part of the Palazzo Spinola collections. The allegorical figure bears both the allegorical attributes of Fortitude, the sword and shield, and those of Justice, the globe and fasces. It is a work by the painter Domenico Piola, in which the figures of the woman and the two putti are articulated in delicate poses. The composition is the result of the experiments carried out by Piola in developing allegorical figures.
