From the Art Institute of Chicago record
Abraham Bosse’s moralizing series, The Four Ages of Man , encompasses the cycle of life: Childhood , Youth , Maturity , and Old Age . In the present etching, two springtime lovers enjoy an intimate garden tête-à-tête before fall and winter inevitably descend. As the decorative framework around the scene demonstrates, Cupid’s arrows have already pierced their hearts.
