"Abundance" is a 1895 etching by French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898), currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. The print features a female figure standing with her arms outstretched, a flowing drapery cascading around her body, with an abundance of small objects emanating from her hand. The work exemplifies the artist's iconic style, often employing simplified forms and muted colors to depict classical themes, emphasizing symbolic representation over realism. This piece, along with others in his L'Estampe Originale collection, was a key part of the development of the Symbolist movement.
