Spring 1720 - 1760

"Spring" is an etching and engraving by Jean Couvay, depicting a woman in a flowing gown, holding a watering can, walking amongst a garden of flowers. This French print from the early 18th century is a personification of Spring, a popular theme in Baroque art, and showcases Couvay’s masterful use of line and detail to create a sense of life and movement within the scene. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
