About the piece

Dating to approximately 1750, this oil painting is a creative allegory of Spring from a 'Seasons' series. It captures a striking contrast between a dignified woman in period dress and a companion figure artfully constructed from roses, cherries, and lush greenery, set against a warm, hazy sky.
