Primavera Terracotta Statue with Festooned Base

Part of a series of designs conceived as allegories for the four seasons, this springtime-inspired terracotta statue depicts a statuesque female silhouette raised on a stately base enriched with on-relief decorations of festoons. A crown of flowers adorns her head, harmonizing with the vase filled with flowers she holds tight to the hip. The richly draped garment creates superb textural dynamism.
