A sculpted and painted limestone garden model of Fortuna, 20th century, portrayed standing and draped, blindfolded and holding a downturned cornucopia issuing coins and wheatsheaves in her right hand, 175cm high; on a rectangular section limestone panel sided plinth, 70cm high, 57cm wide, 57cm deep, 245cm high overall Bidders from the UK and outside of the European Union should be aware that additional import charges may apply The attributions of Fortune are self explanatory -she pours out coins and food from her cornucopia in an entirely random manner, emphasised by the blindfold to show that she is unaware -and indeed uncaring of whom she benefits and whom she does not. However, ancient portrayals of Fortuna usually had her either seated or standing on a globe, intended to indicate instability, whilst she was not often shown wearing the blindfold
