content: A chinoiserie-style print from a series of allegorical representations of the twelve months of the year. A male figure stands on one leg while holding a mask and pointing towards his left. He stands under a rococo-style pergola or canopy, with other similar structures in the background along with trees and plants. Three vases are displayed to the left along with two textile hangings. The roof of the canopy is trellised and topped with rococo-style ornamental shells, acanthus leaves, c-scrolls and foliage. The plate is numbered.
