This, the second of Alfred Stevens’ allegorical seasons, is Summer, also from 1877.
As the Clark points out, this figure “has loosened her hair, shades her eyes flirtatiously with a fan, and holds a bundle of roses in full bloom.”
She is bolder than Spring—and her placement in a domestic interior (and direct eye contact) make her seem more immediate, more approachable.
