Summer, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France
Guillaume Coustou created this stone sculpture representing Summer, displaying a female figure holding agricultural tools and wearing a crown of wheat spikes.
The statue arrived in the Tuileries Garden during the 18th century as part of a series representing the four seasons commissioned for royal garden decoration.
This sculpture reflects French classical art traditions through its proportions, agricultural symbolism, and integration with formal garden design principles.
The statue stands near the central axis of Tuileries Garden, making it accessible through multiple pathways from both the Louvre and Place de la Concorde entrances.
The figure's garments show exceptional stone carving techniques, with detailed fabric folds that create natural movement despite the solid material.
