Description
Fortuna in a Niche by Albrecht Dürer places a standing figure within a tall architectural setting. The contrast between the human form and the surrounding niche gives the small pen-and-ink drawing a sculptural, carefully ordered presence.
Dated 1498, the figure is thought to personify Fortune. Her direct gaze and assured bearing accompany Dürer’s early exploration of ideal proportions, a subject that remained central to his work.
