French neoclassical style. Pair of hand-colored stipple engravings on paper, featuring allegorical depictions of the seasons titled Le Printems and L Automne. The scenes illustrate playful putti with floral garlands and grape harvests. The works exhibit the stipple technique with delicate hand-tinted accents. Each is housed in a matching giltwood frame with a pale green inner border and glass. The reverse of one frame includes a printed label reading MADE IN FRANCE and a handwritten N 271 applied over fragments of antique printed paper used as a dust seal.
