Flora

Cornelis Cort, after Frans Floris I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person sitting on a stone bench, facing slightly sideways but looking back at the viewer. The person has classical facial features, curly hair with a floral crown, and is wearing draped clothing reminiscent of ancient Greco-Roman attire. They hold a basket of flowers in one arm and a bouquet in the other hand. Flowers in a vase are on the ground nearby. The background includes clouds and mountains. The engraving is detailed in a classical style.
