Español: La Fortuna repartiendo sus dones

Un grabado con una multitud de hombres desnudos y musculosos que se empujan y extienden los brazos en un amplio paisaje, mientras una figura femenina suspendida en el aire esparce regalos desde un conjunto de objetos. El rayado fino y paralelo modela los cuerpos y el cielo, y una inscripción en latín recorre el margen superior izquierdo.
