Winter 1670 - 1700

"Winter" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jan Broedelet. This allegorical print depicts Winter as a regal woman seated on a sled, while a winged cherub decorates her feet with chains and flowers. The scene is likely intended to symbolize the cold and inactive nature of winter, with the chains representing its frozen grip and the flowers hinting at the dormant beauty of nature. The print's title, "De Winter," is visible at the bottom, marking it as a work of Baroque art.
