Description

In Woman enraged we are confronted by a bizarrely attired, screaming female. Although clearly an unusual character, the woman cannot be identified with any known literary or historical figure. The painting appears to be an allegory with moralistic overtones related to two of the deadly sins. Although it bears no inscription, Woman enraged also conveys a message through the use of symbols. The woman’s expression clearly indicates anger. Through the door behind her, we catch a glimpse of a fireplace, which may well be an allusion to anger, for fire is the element traditionally associated with the choleric temperament.

In addition to Anger, the figure personifies Avarice, as seen from her eclectic attire and possessions.
