WINTER is a bronze statue of a young woman cast by 18th century neoclassical sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1787. Houdon intended the statue to be an allegory of the winter season. This intent is reflected in both the medium (a cold, dark bronze) and features of the sculpture. Upon its completion, Winter and Bather, another work by Houdon, shocked the French artistic establishment with their perceived eroticism.[1] Winter is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The statue is located in the Greek and Roman collection of the museum.[
