About the Item

This pair of Meissen figurines depicts four infants, each representative of one of the Four Seasons. Autumn and summer are paired together, with Summer draped in a purple cloth, holding a bunch of grapes. Autumn rests with a bushel of wheat in the nook of their arm and ensconced in a blue cloth. The other pair of figurines is Spring and Winter. Spring sits above Winter, holding a bouquet of flowers and covered in a yellow cloth. Winter lies below spring, warming their hands over a cheery fire and clothed in a blue CAP and red robe trimmed in gold. The crossed swords mark indicating the pieces as Meissen is found under the base of the figurines.

The vases each have a set of four portraits on them as well: two horizontal scenes on the front and back, with two vertical portraits above them on the front and back as well. The paintings on the front of each have people in them, whereas the ones on the back depict country scenes and buildings. The inscription under the lid of the vase reads "Offert par Le Duc de Richelieu a la Princess de Lomballe." The Duke of Richelieu who gave these vases was most likely Louis François Armand de...
