Frans Francken II, Fortune, Occasio-OpportunityAbstract
In this note, reference is made to the paintings of the Dutch artist Frans Francken II, or the Young, on the themes of Fortune and Occasio-Opportunity, and a summary is given of the present state of the discussion on the interpretation of the motifs of the pictures on the latter subject, and notice is given of a new work in that series, not considered until now by those who have dealt with this matter.
