The artwork, titled “Summer,” is a creation by the artist Charles Robinson. It is an allegorical painting and is associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement.
In the artwork, one can observe a stately female figure adorned with a flowing dress that exhibits exquisite detailing and vibrant coloration, characteristic of Art Nouveau’s stylized naturalism and intricate designs. Her hair is crowned with flowers, and she is holding a child on her shoulders, signifying a maternal and nurturing aspect, which is central to the allegory of summer. The soft, billowing clouds in the background merge with the delicate foliage and flowers that surround her feet, reflecting the lushness and abundance of the summer season. The overall composition harmonizes the human form with the natural elements, evoking a serene and idyllic atmosphere.
