Fortune Does Not Favour Those Who Fall Asleep; Patience as the Victor of Fortune

attributed to Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, after c. 1560 - before 1590

Only upright moral conduct and prudence can protect a man from the vagaries of Fortune. The final sheet of the series shows the personification of Fortune lying exhausted on the ground, having been defeated by Patience.
