Lot Essay

This composition derives from the series of the Four Seasons produced by the Bassano workshop. The finest version of these series, attributed to both Jacopo and Francesco, is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna: Spring (inv. no. 4.302), Summer (inv. 4.303), Autumn (inv. no. 4.303), and Winter (inv. no. 2.869, likely a later version painted by Francesco).
