Spring

Wenceslaus Hollar (mentioned on object), 1643

Two years after producing his half-length Spring (adjacent), Hollar also published a full-length version. The large vase is missing this time. In the left background some visitors stroll around a formal garden with rectangular flowerbeds. In the caption Spring is addressed as the bearer of copious gifts.
