L'Hiver from the Four Seasons 1735

"L'Hiver" (Winter) from the *Four Seasons* is an etching created in 1735 by the French Rococo artist Charles-Joseph Natoire. Depicting a group of putti huddled around a fire, the artwork captures the cold and desolate atmosphere of winter. The artist's use of fine lines and delicate shading emphasizes the contrast between the warmth of the fire and the frigid environment. This intimate scene, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a compelling reminder of the season's beauty and challenges.
