Allegory of Abundance and Peace is a 1602 oil by Agostino Carracci, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
In this painting, two women sit in a landscape, surrounded by a cityscape in the background. The woman on the left holds a bundle of wheat, while the woman on the right holds a sheaf of wheat in her left hand and a tool in her right. The women are dressed in flowing robes, with the woman on the left wearing a blue and red robe, and the woman on the right wearing a white and green robe. The painting features a muted color palette, with earthy tones dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are smooth and blended, creating a sense of softness and subtlety.
