'Giovanni Arnolfini and His Wife Giovanna Cenami'
(The Arnolfini Marriage) - Jan van Eyck, 1434

The girl is virtuous. She does not wish to throw herself away, and allows the customary time for marriage to slip by. However, there is no harm in this; she is rewarded for her purity and, even though belatedly, finds the husband intended for her.
