This anonymous 18th-century drawing, *Allegory of Spring*, is a delicate depiction of a garden setting. The central figures, likely representing the season of spring, are depicted in the clouds. A man and woman are surrounded by a wreath and cherubs. A garden with a fountain and classical urns flanks the central scene, referencing a style popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. This work, a testament to the artist’s skilled hand, is a delightful visual reminder of the beauty of nature and the passage of time.
