Original – . CITATION ^{FROM THE MUSEUMS'S DESCRIPTION}: "This study is thought to have been a preparatory work for a tapestry, and originally formed a pair with Justice (private collection), also by Rubens's hand. The young woman in the center of the composition represents Abundance, and the cornucopia, symbol of abundance, is placed on her lap. ... This is a superb preparatory work in oils by Rubens's own hand.

Reason

Good scan, from the Google Art Project. A study in oil, or by Rubens, a preparation sketch for a tapestry - that was not intended as a finished work, but a preliminary exploration of a theme, and not as a finished piece ; created for an allegory or a symbol of "Abundance", by Peter Paul Rubens. The bruswork is very interesting and typical for the artist. Also it is a sketch, we don't have many of those.
