"Plenty" is an anonymous 1800 hand-colored engraving depicting a woman, likely representing the personified concept of Plenty, who holds a sheaf of wheat in one hand and a cornucopia filled with fruits and vegetables in the other. The scene takes place in a landscape with trees and a field, suggesting agricultural abundance and prosperity. This work is a fine example of a print that reflects the themes of abundance and nature in art. The engraving's artistic style suggests the neoclassical movement, evident in the depiction of the figure and the composition. "Plenty" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
