"Prairial (20 mei – 18 juni)" is an engraving by Italian artist Salvatore Tresca, created between 1792 and 1794. The artwork depicts a young woman, likely symbolizing the French Republic, standing in a pastoral setting. The woman holds a staff and is surrounded by symbols of peace and prosperity, such as doves and cornucopias. The print is a testament to the ideals of the French Revolution, specifically the Prairial month, which was associated with peace and abundance. The engraving's delicate lines and attention to detail showcase Tresca's mastery of the medium.
