"Das Kleine Glück" (The Small Fortune) is a lesser-known work by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Created around 1496, this engraving exemplifies Dürer's exceptional skill in printmaking and his keen interest in humanist themes. The piece is often overshadowed by Dürer's more famous works, such as "Melencolia I" and "Knight, Death, and the Devil," but it remains an important part of his oeuvre, reflecting his early mastery of the engraving technique and his exploration of complex allegorical subjects.

The engraving depicts a seated female figure, often interpreted as Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune and luck. She is shown holding a sail, symbolizing the unpredictable nature of fate, and is surrounded by various objects that signify wealth and prosperity. The composition is meticulously detailed, showcasing Dürer's ability to render intricate textures and forms with remarkable precision. The figure's serene expression and the harmonious arrangement of elements within the scene convey a sense of balance and contemplation, characteristic of Dürer's work during this period.

"Das Kleine Glück" is notable for its intricate line work and the subtle gradations of tone that Dürer achieved through his expert use of the burin. The engraving's fine details and the delicate interplay of light and shadow demonstrate Dürer's deep understanding of the medium and his innovative approach to printmaking. This work also reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Dürer, particularly in its classical references and the idealized portrayal of the human figure.

Although "Das Kleine Glück" may not be as widely recognized as some of Dürer's other engravings, it remains a significant example of his early work and his contribution to the development of printmaking as a major art form. The piece is housed in various collections around the world, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
