Fortune

About this work

The image depicts a woman standing on a cloud, holding a bag of coins in her right hand. She is nude, with a cloth draped around her waist and a hat on her head. Her left arm is outstretched, and she appears to be in motion. A cherub is flying behind her, grasping her hair with one hand and holding a cloth in the other. The background features a cloudy sky with lines suggesting movement. This etching is an allegory, representing the concept of Fortune.
