Image description

Prosperity in life is transitory and depends on luck, the woman is Fortune, or Lady Luck, holding a cornucopia but sitting on a bubble, her billowing drapery a reminder that she is changeable like the wind and her single shoe symbolizing her ability to bring not only fortune but also misfortune. The man personifies chance holding up lottery tickets which he is about to place inside a golden urn, a reference to the civic lotteries that had just become popular in Italy. They may also refer to the painting's likely patron, Isabella d'Este, Marchioness of Mantua, one of whose emblems was a bundle of lots, denoting her personal experience with fluctuating fortune.
