Lead-glazed earthenware painted in enamels; a ong-haired youth probably representing Winter from a set of Seasons
White earthenware with slightly blue tinted lead-glaze, painted in yellowish-green, flesh-pink, reddish-brown, brown and dark opaque brown enamels. The underside is concave and glazed, and has a large ventilation hole below the figure. The slender youth stands in front of a tree trunk on a low round mound base. He has long brown hair, a pale complexion, and bare legs and feet. He looks down towards his left. His right shoulder, arms and hands are concealed by a dark brown mantle lined with reddish-brown, which he holds around himself as if feeling cold. The tree trunk and the mound base are coloured overall in yellowish-green with a few brown brush strokes around the front of the base.
