This drawing shows a woman standing on a wild boar. She holds a wine glass in one hand and a cornucopia in the other. Her dress is loose and flowing, and she has wings sprouting from her back. The name "Gula" is written below, which likely refers to the theme of gluttony. This kind of image was used to warn people about overindulgence. Want to learn more? Check out the technique: etching.
