“Summer” – Male Bust in White Earthenware, Viúva Lamego Factory – 20th Century

Period: 20th century Dimensions: 60 cm Description:

A male bust in glazed white earthenware, produced by the Viúva Lamego Factory during the first half of the 20th century, representing an allegory of summer. The figure displays a classically inspired style, with the torso draped in ample folds of fabric and the head crowned with ears of grain—a symbol traditionally associated with summer, the harvest season, and abundance. The modeling of the face, hair, and folds of the clothing highlights the piece’s sculptural character, while the uniform white glaze accentuates the volumes and the play of light on the surface. This depiction is part of the tradition of personifications of the Four Seasons, a theme of classical origin widely revisited in European decorative arts and in the production of ornamental earthenware.
