Description: 
This statue, along with a pendant statue of Autumn, was found in 1794 by Robert Fagan on the Cesarini estate at Campo Jemini, near Tor Vajanica. Winter is portrayed as a woman, wrapped in her mantle and surrounded by five cupids shown hunting and fishing. The head was added by the Neoclassical sculptor Massimiliano Laboureur. The statue can be dated to the middle of the second century CE. The base is an unrelated work. (Source: Vatican Museums (Musei Vaticani) [website]; http://www.museivaticani.va/)
