Autumn

attributed to Ignatius van Logteren, c. 1712 - c. 1713

Here autumn is portrayed as a bacchante, a votary of the mythical god of wine Bacchus, holding a bunch of grapes. Like Spring and Summer, the statue is from Broeker house garden. This building once stood near today’s Vondel Park and was a private museum for many years in the 19th century.
