A vertically oriented black ink print depicts Fortune, a winged woman with light skin tone walking to our right, balancing against a large sphere on a textured floor. She wears a draped dress and lion-headed sandals. She holds a palm branch in her right hand and a wheel carrying a small man in her left. A ship sails on the left; a cityscape rises on our right. The inscriptions "FORTVNA," "1541," and "ISB" appear above.
