An Amsterdam city garden, Cornelis Troost, ca. 1740 - 1745
Oil on canvas, 55 x 65
Peace and prosperity reign in this Amsterdam canal garden. In the center is a gilded statue of Fortuna, a symbol of the family's well-being. In the sun, the master of the house picks grapes with his daughter, while in the foreground in the shade a maid prepares vegetables. Meanwhile, the tame parrot lurks for a tasty morsel.
