Salvatore Tresca’s engraving “Vendémiare (22 September – 21 October)” (1792–1794) depicts a woman in a white robe and veil. She stands amidst a bountiful harvest of grapes, holding a cornucopia overflowing with fruit. This allegorical depiction is a visual representation of the season of Vendémiare, one of the twelve months in the French Republican Calendar. The scene is likely intended to symbolize the prosperity of the new republic.
