A sculpted white marble figure of a putto
representing summer, in the manner of Louis-Felix de la Rue (1731-1765), on an integrally carved naturalistic base -- 12½in. (32cm) high
This marble figure is closely comparable to a figure of Autumn by de la Rue, which exists in both marble and biscuit porcelain. For a full discussion of this latter model, see the entry in R.R.Wark Sculpture in the Huntington Collection Los Angeles 1959, pp.70-71, plate XXVI.
