Spring 1856 - 1874

"Spring," a white marble relief sculpture by American artist William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874), depicts a female figure in flowing drapery, holding a sprig of flowers. The work, created between 1856 and 1874, showcases Rinehart's skill in capturing movement and delicate detail. It is a fine example of Neoclassical style, with a focus on idealized forms and classical references. "Spring" is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
