In the Delft factories not only \u2018Summer\u2019 was produced, but the whole set of \u2018The Four Seasons\u2019. The Four Seasons are an ancient decorative motif in the arts. Usually each season is represented as an allegorical figure bearing traditional iconographic symbols. The Delft figures of \u2018Spring\u2019, \u2018Autumn\u2019 and \u2018Winter\u2019 all seasons were modeled in the same way as the present figure of \u2018Summer\u2019: as men and women holding specific attributes of the season. As can be seen in this figure \u2018Summer\u2019 is often shown with sheafs of wheat to illustrate the labor and product of the wheat harvest, which is done in the summer. Wheat can either be planted in the winter or the spring, to be harvested at the beginning or the very end of summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provenance<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Ivan B.
