About the piece
Attributed to Abraham Janssens I, this 17th-century oil painting depicts Lady Fortune as a radiant figure crowned with a wreath of pink roses. Dressed in rich emerald and plum drapery, she holds ornate gold and silver vessels overflowing with coins and jewelry, a visual metaphor for worldly wealth. The work showcases masterful chiaroscuro, highlighting the luminous skin tones against an atmospheric dark ground.
