"Ceres wordt gekroond door Fortuna (Lot)" is an engraving by Gerhard Ludwig Lahde, created between 1787 and 1833. The artwork depicts the Roman goddess Ceres, who represents agriculture, being crowned by Fortuna, the goddess of luck and fortune. This engraving likely draws inspiration from classical mythology and symbolizes the blessings of fortune bestowed upon agriculture. The artwork is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known for its focus on Greek and Roman themes and a revival of classical artistic principles.
