Twee tuinvazen met de vier seizoenen

Date: 1714
Medium: marble (rock)
Culture: Utrecht
Institution: Rijksmuseum

These two vases were almost certainly made for the Elsenburg country estate in Maarssen, the property of Amsterdam merchant Theodoor de Leeuw. The classical shape is decorated in several places with asymmetrical ornaments that herald the Rococo style. Examples are the large scrolls above the reliefs representing the seasons.
