Title:
Fortune's Wheel
Creator:
Description:
Fortune pushes a king off of her wheel to the ground where he joins other men and women who have ridden the wheel. Among them are noble men and women and crowned kings. In the background is a nearly identical group of people who have yet to take their turn on Fortune's wheel. Boccaccio stands to the left, holding a scroll and pointing to Fortune.
