Cartouche met daaromheen vier personificaties van de seizoenen, bovenaan een portret van Saturnus in een medaillon 1788

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's 1788 "Cartouche met daaromheen vier personificaties van de seizoenen, bovenaan een portret van Saturnus in een medaillon" is a small, finely detailed engraving. It is a title page for a genealogical calendar, a popular genre in the 18th century. The image is dominated by a cartouche, a decorative frame that encloses the title "CALENDER," surrounded by the four seasons, personified by figures in a classical style. The top of the image depicts a portrait of the Roman god Saturn, in a medallion, framed by clouds. The design is balanced and symmetrical, indicative of the neoclassical style that was popular in the late 18th century. Chodowiecki was a prolific and influential artist, known for his illustrations and engravings, often depicting scenes of daily life and history.
