Catalogue Note
Cette allégorie de l'Eté est une adaptation de la Palombella, la belle Romaine Barbara Pasquarelli que Carpeaux a rencontré lors de son séjour à Rome en 1856, alors agée de 19 ans.
Parée d'un collier de perles à pendentif, coiffée d'une couronne de fleurs et d'épis, et vêtue d'un corsage resserré par un cordon, elle devient l'Eté qu'il exposera cette même année à l'Ecole des Beaux- Arts.
