DescriptionAn allegorical print depicting Plenty as a woman in a chariot drawn by two tigers. The woman is in classical costume and wears a wreath of laurel leaves in her hair. She holds a cornucopia full of fruits and vegetables in her left arm. With her right arm, she reaches towards a flying dove bearing an olive branch. A winged putto or cherub holding a bunch of grapes is seated on the tigers' backs. A beehive is in the right foreground. Fruit, apparently oranges, grows on a tree in the right background. In the left background are shocks of grain in a field surrounded by board fences and a thatched cottage or barn.
