This red chalk drawing by Girolamo Muziano depicts Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune, standing on a globe and holding a cornucopia. She is surrounded by three putti, small, winged cherubs. Muziano, who was born in 1528 and died in 1592, was a renowned painter and draughtsman of the Italian Renaissance. His work is characterized by its elegant style and meticulous attention to detail. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of movement and lightness. The subject matter of the artwork, Fortuna, was a popular theme in Renaissance art, representing the unpredictable nature of fate and the power of chance. The drawing is now in the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.
