Getting started with the collection:
Winter
Jacob Gole (mentioned on object), 1670 - 1724
The Four Seasons remained a popular theme for fashion prints decades after Wenceslaus Hollar’s version (in this room). Here ‘Winter’ is personified by a gentleman wearing a knee-length justaucorps. For extra warmth, he carries a fur muff and drapes his he heavy cloak around his face. A pair of ice skates on the table to the right suggests his plans for the day.
