Spring c. 18th century

John Bowles's "Spring" is an 18th century mezzotint print depicting a woman in a lush garden setting. The woman is dressed in a pink gown with a blue shawl, holding a wreath of flowers and standing beside a fountain. The print is part of a series of four depicting the four seasons, and "Spring" captures the blossoming of nature with its vibrant colors and idyllic imagery. The print is a testament to Bowles's skill as a printmaker and his ability to translate the beauty of nature into art. This colorful print, which is part of a series, is a prime example of the Rococo style, popular in the 18th century.
