Overvloed met schoot vol bloemen en korenschoof en beeld van Mercurius 1642

"Overvloed met schoot vol bloemen en korenschoof en beeld van Mercurius" is a 1642 etching by Dutch artist Cornelis van Dalen I. This small print, measuring only 92 mm in height and 56 mm in width, depicts a crowned woman, likely representing Abundance, seated upon a plinth adorned with flowers and a cornucopia overflowing with fruit. A figure of Mercury, holding a caduceus, stands beside her. This intricate allegorical scene exemplifies Van Dalen's talent for detailed engravings, demonstrating his skill in capturing both the subtle nuances of human figures and the textures of various objects.
