Titled *The Four Seasons of Life*, this picture uses a familiar allegory to trace a person's years, pairing the stages of life with the seasons of the year. Images of this kind were common in nineteenth-century printmaking, when engravings and lithographs on moral and sentimental themes hung in parlors and schoolrooms and were meant to be read as much as looked at. The idea runs back through European art to classical notions of the seasons as a cycle, which invites viewers to consider where they stand along that arc. The maker and date are not recorded here, so its specific origins are best understood through the broader tradition it belongs to.
