Polychrome porcelain group, consisting of 3 putti: one lying down holding a large basket of flowers where a butterfly has settled, the other 2 are holding flowers. They are presented on a round base decorated with foliage, a gilded frieze, on 3 small feet. The faces of the putti are very fine and the whole piece is very delicate.
This porcelain certainly represents an allegory of spring.
