Description
-
This allegorical painting depicts on the right Peace, who is guiding Abundance with her cornucopia of fruit. Peace is depicted wearing a purple dress with a green shawl, showing its freeing movement, and on her head a crown of leaves. Abundance is depicted wearing a white dress with a gold shawl flowing, and atop her head are flowers. Elisabeth painted this in an effort to attend the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture as a history painter. During the 1700s, historical, mythological, allegorical, and religious subjects were seen as superior.
