A young woman wearing a wreath of flowers.
The Renaissance, which revived the ancient tradition of depicting the seasons in the form of ancient gods, associated Summer with the fertility goddess Ceres (Greek Demeter). In painting of the XV-XVII centuries the personified season - Summer - is depicted as a young woman with a sickle and ears of corn or with sheaves. Can also be depicted as a naked woman with cereals or fruits.
This young woman with a flower wreath on her head symbolizes the beginning of summer, the growing energy of fertility.
