The Wheel of Fortune

John La Farge

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white painting of a muscular man with short hair riding a wheel with clouds underneath and behind him; a cloth wraps around his lower body; he has a full wing on his back; he holds something small in his left hand and a curved object in his right; cloudy sky and distant hills in background. The Wheel of Fortune by John La Farge.
