"Allegory of Winter, after Sébastien Le Clerc" is an 18th-century drawing attributed to an anonymous artist now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing depicts a scene with two winged figures on a cloud, one holding a wreath and the other a staff. Below them, a scene unfolds with scattered objects, including a basket, netting, and various other items, perhaps signifying the season's bounty or the decline of nature. This drawing is likely a copy of a work by Sébastien Le Clerc, a prominent French draftsman and printmaker.
