Indocility
Indocility is represented, in Painting and Sculpture, by a woman lying on the ground, to shew
her incapacity of rising higher; an ass standing by her, as an emblem of ignorance;
leaning with one arm on a hog as a symbol of stupidity, in a black garment, because
black will take no other colour.
