De Winter, uit een serie van de Vier Jaargetijden c. 1760 - 1763

"De Winter" (c. 1760-1763) is a porcelain sculpture by the Weesper porseleinfabriek, a Dutch factory known for its high-quality figures. Part of a series depicting the four seasons, this piece shows Winter as a woman wrapped in a cloak with children huddled at her feet. The delicate white porcelain and detailed modeling evoke a sense of fragility and the cold season. The sculpture's elegant form reflects the Rococo style prevalent in the 18th century, and its small size suggests a decorative purpose, perhaps as a centerpiece or mantelpiece.
