About this work

This print shows a busy indoor scene with a family gathered around a table. A woman sits feeding a baby while others stand or crouch nearby. One child holds a plate, another stands with a tray, and a servant pours something from a pitcher. The room has tall windows with patterned glass and framed pictures on the walls. At the bottom, two sheep lie curled up, and French text runs along the edges. The title *The Four Seasons: Winter* hints this scene might be about cold weather—notice the fire in the background and the heavy clothes. The detailed engraving captures every fold of fabric and shadow. Next, look up Baroque.
