The figures appear also in a series of six prints of the Life of Man after Stradanus engraved by Furnius in 1570. The engravings link the Ages of Man with the Pilgrimage of Life, Youth is given the choice between the World, the Flesh and the Devil and the Path of Virtue. Manhood is assisted by the four Cardinal Virtues. These most likely reflect the design of the eight lost tapestries linked to humanistic themes given a specifically Christian context.

The panel in the Victoria and Albert Museum depicts Man midway in his pilgrimage of life, ascending the mountain of salvation in the company of two female figures, Faith and Innocence, together with the winged child personifying Divine Love. Two other women, Religion and Piety, await them half-way up the mountain. The set of tapestries linked the Ages of Man with the Pilgrimage of Life.
