Standbeeld van de Winter 1727

This is a print of a sculpture of Winter created by Matthijs Pool in 1727. The sculpture is composed of boxwood, and it portrays a figure wrapped in clothing with a tree stump at their feet. The print, which was likely intended as an advertisement for the original sculpture, shows the figure from two different perspectives. The artist, Pool, was well-known for his detailed, naturalistic work in sculpture, and this print showcases his talent for capturing the textures of the wood. This print is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, and it is one of several works that document Pool’s sculptural work.
