This book might be a good starting point for her.  At least it will  
tell her where to look further.

HOURIHANE, Colum. (ed.)
_Virtue and Vice - The Personifications in the Index of Christian  
Art._  Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000.  ISBN 0-691-05037-6.

The first half of the book is a collection of six essays on virtues  
and vices as they appear in medieval literature and art.  The second  
half is a catalog (divided between virtues and vices, and then  
alphabetized) of where various depictions occur and what medium  
they're in.

Hope that helps,
Cindy
