This classical-style engraving from the 17th century features a nude female figure holding a staff entwined with a vine bearing grapes. The figure's pose, musculature, and contrapposto stance evoke the aesthetics of antiquity and allegorical representations of abundance themes.

Frederick de Wit (1629–1706) was a Dutch engraver, publisher, and cartographer. In addition to maps, he produced drawing books for artists, promoting anatomical and proportional studies based on antique models. His work influenced art education during the Dutch Golden Age.
