Summary
Autumn, one of two figures emblematic of Spring and Autumn. Autumn as a man in a black tricorn hat with gilt binding, a green-lined puce coat with gilt design and binding, a waistcoat with gilt and coloured scale-pattern, orange knee breeches decorated with turquoise and gilt flowers and black leaves, white stockings and black buckled shoes, holding a bunch of grapes in his left hand and with his right hand a blue apron filled with fruit, both on white circular bases richly encrusted with flowers, with triangular apertures for tôle-peint branches at the back.
