Arnold Houbraken’s etching, “Personificatie van voorspoed” (Personification of Prosperity), depicts a female figure holding a cornucopia of abundance and a rudder, symbolizing good fortune and guidance. The artwork, created in the 1710s, is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age’s fascination with allegory and classical mythology, highlighting themes of prosperity and navigation. Houbraken’s signature style, evident in the fine lines and meticulous details, adds depth and realism to this intricate portrayal of prosperity.
