This etching by Louis Surugue, created in 1710, depicts the statue of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, located in the Gardens of Versailles. The statue, sculpted by Gaspard Marsy, stands gracefully, holding a spear, and with a wreath of flowers adorning her head. Surugue captures the statue's details with impressive precision, from the flowing drapery to the delicate features of Flora's face. The print is a testament to the artistic flourishing of the Baroque era in France, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of the time. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
