Description: This image represents the season of winter. The Golden Age of civilization had an eternal spring, but the god Jupiter created four seasons in the Silver Age of civilization. This image depicts an old man wrapped in clothing surrounded by many winged cherubs as he holds his hands out towards a fire. They are all sitting close together in front of the fire and sitting under a shelter made of wood and fabric to keep warm from the winter’s cold air. There are two cherubs on the right side of the image carrying firewood.
