EVB2085820: Le flegmatique: The Phlegmatic personality was calm and thought to be caused by the dominance of the humor phlegm. It is personified by a bare-breasted young woman, with an owl on her shoulder, while she sits on a ram's back at water's edge, with the waves crashing about her. She holds a short staff and a ladle. Engraving by Virgil Solis (German, 1514-1562). / Bridgeman Images
