- Primary Object Classification
- Physical Description
- Two women in long robes stand arm in arm in a landscape. One figure holds an olive branch in her right hand, and her companion cradles a cornucopia against her hip.
- Subject Matter
- The allegorical figure of Peace stands on the viewer's left with an olive branch. She is embraced by Abundance, identified by the cornucopia in her left hand. This elegant print is the first fruit of the collaboration between Coriolano and Guido Reni (1575-1642), the famous painter. By the time of Reni's death, Coriolano would produce at least eighteen other chiaroscuro woodcuts after drawings that Reni had prepared solely for translating into prints.
