Flora after 1627

This engraving by Giacomo Piccini, titled "Flora," depicts the Roman goddess Flora holding flowers, likely roses, in her left hand. The engraving is a portrait of the goddess, a common subject of Renaissance art, and has a delicate quality with fine lines. The subject is depicted with a graceful, feminine form, and her clothing and drapery are rendered with care. This image is a fine example of the meticulous artistry of engravings, a technique that reached its peak in the 17th century.
