Putto at the left hold aloft grapes,another seated at the right holding an urn, an allegory of the seasons (Summer), an oval composition 1650 - 1680

This anonymous etching from the 17th century, titled "Putto at the left hold aloft grapes,another seated at the right holding an urn, an allegory of the seasons (Summer), an oval composition," features two cherubic figures, or putti, representing the season of summer. The putto on the left holds aloft a bunch of grapes, symbolizing the abundance of the harvest, while the putto on the right holds an urn, possibly representing the heat of the summer sun. The oval composition, a popular format in Renaissance and Baroque art, emphasizes the harmonious balance of the scene. This etching, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the artistic trends and symbolic language of 17th-century European art.
