Spring

Daniel Cottier

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The stained-glass artwork titled Spring by Daniel Cottier features a woman standing in front of a decorative background. The woman has short, curly red hair and is wearing a long, flowing dress with a gold and white pattern. Her arms are crossed, and she holds a green fabric in her left hand that flows behind her and a red-handled fan in her right hand. The dress has a gold and white pattern with short puffy sleeves. The woman appears barefoot and stands on a patch of grass with small pink flowers. Behind the woman is a white background composed of small squares, rectangles, and diamonds, featuring a gold floral pattern. The border of the stained glass consists of small, multicolored rectangles and larger geometric shapes in shades of blue, green, beige, and white.
