Zomer 1690 - 1700

"Zomer" (Summer) is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Jan Broedelet. It depicts a woman, likely representing Summer, seated beneath a striped umbrella held by a winged cherub. The image is filled with symbols of the season, including sheaves of wheat, a sickle, and a fountain, making it a great example of allegory in art. The engraving's intricate details and use of light and shadow contribute to a realistic and evocative depiction of the season.
