Summer, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France
Summer is a stone female figure created by Guillaume Coustou and shown holding farming tools while wearing a crown of wheat. The sculpture occupies a spot in the Tuileries Garden and displays careful attention to detail in its carving.
This work came into being during the 18th century as part of a four-part series representing the seasons commissioned for royal gardens. The collection was created to showcase the classical art traditions valued by the French crown at that time.
The sculpture embodies French garden traditions with its balanced proportions and connection to farming and nature. It sits naturally within the garden's formal design and represents the classical ideals of its era.
The statue sits near the central pathway of the Tuileries Garden and is reachable through several different routes. You can approach it easily from either the Louvre side or from the Place de la Concorde direction.
The garment folds display a rare stone carving method that conveys fluidity and grace throughout the form. This intricate workmanship becomes apparent when you look closely at the piece.
