These garden statues made out of Carrara marble were made in Italy in the 20th century.
It is an allegorical representation of the Four Seasons: by their attributes, each of the statues refers to one cycle of the year. While the Winter carries the logs, the Spring, leaning on a high plant, symbol of fertility, holds a basket full of flowers. Summer is the time of harvest: the young woman bears against her the wheat head, the future seeds of winter. Finally, baskets overflowing with bunches of grapes announce the Autumn. This fruit of the harvest also adorns the hair of the one who holds it. The Four Seasons were made out of marble from Carrara , marble highly prized for statues for its whiteness and for the richness and finesse of the details it allows.
