L'Hiver (Winter, plate four from Le Quatre Saisons)
<p>This print probably represents <em>Winter,</em>one of the Four Seasons Natoire etched that were advertised in the <em>Mercure de France </em>in 1735. These prints are all that remain to document four paintings on wood commissioned for the chateau of La Chapelle-Godefroy: confiscated during the Revolution, three of the oils, including <em>Winter,</em> were lost in a fire in 1814 of the chateau of Pont-sur-Seine, the residence of Laetitia Bonaparte; the fourth panel has since been lost.</p>
