Fortune and the Young Child, lithograph after Horace Vernet
A black-and-white lithograph shows a winged, draped female figure swooping down beside a stone well, offering something to a small nude child seated on its rim. Classical ruins and a distant villa stand among trees behind, with a lightly hatched, atmospheric sky.
