The Four Seasons: Summer

Abraham Bosse

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Four Seasons: Summer by Abraham Bosse. An ornate border surrounds a black and white image. In the image, a group of people stand on a balcony with columns and a railing. The balcony has a roof supported by the columns. A man with a large curled hairstyle and a cane stands at the front of the balcony, looking out. He wears a puffy-sleeved jacket and pants. Behind him to the left, a woman and a man in 17th-century clothing converse. To the left, a boy holds a large object. The background shows trees, a cloudy sky, and buildings. The sky has sun rays emanating from behind clouds. In the bottom center, a wreath with the word "ESTE" is visible. Two blocks of illegible text are at the bottom. The image depicts a summer scene with people on a balcony overlooking a landscape.
