About this work

The provenance of this overdoor is the same as that of Autumn and Winter, also on view in this gallery. Unfortunately, Spring has not come down to us, but it was probably round, like Winter. As in the other overdoors, three putti play with various attributes. The scythe, the cornstalks and the harvested fruit allude to summer.
