This 18th-century anonymous drawing depicts a female figure holding a cornucopia overflowing with flowers. The figure, likely representing Abundance or a similar allegorical concept, is rendered with a delicate line, suggesting a careful study of a classical statue. The drawing's small size and the artist's anonymity hint at its role as a private study or sketch. This work exemplifies the enduring fascination with classical antiquity during the 18th century and showcases the artist's keen eye for detail and understanding of classical style.
