This etching, created by Italian artist Cherubino Alberti between 1570 and 1615, depicts a winged figure of Fame blowing a trumpet. The figure stands with her body facing left, her left leg raised above a small figure with wings, and the trumpet extending up and to the right. The figure's anatomy is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with a focus on the musculature and the flow of her drapery. The composition is dynamic, with the figure's movement and the curving trumpet creating a sense of energy and motion. This artwork is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
