"Allegory of the 4 seasons". EXCEPTIONAL SET OF 4 BUSTES in terra cotta. France, 18th century. H.68 L.54. Our 4 busts illustrate the seasons and are represented by 2 busts of man and 2 busts of woman. Spring with a crown of roses in its hair is close to summer in its composition with a crown of wheat ears. Autumn is covered with a skin of animals with a rich composition of bunches of grapes and vine leaves in the hair. The Winter is the only composition to be deprived of ornament in the hair. It is instead turbaned and wrapped up to fight against the wind and the cold.
