"Summer: A Girl Holding Peaches" is a pastel portrait by Rosalba Carriera, an Italian Rococo artist renowned for her work in the pastel medium. Created in the early 18th century, this piece is part of a series representing the four seasons, a popular theme in European art. The artwork depicts a young woman personifying Summer, characterized by the warmth and fertility of the season, as suggested by the ripe peaches she holds.

Carriera's mastery of pastel techniques is evident in the soft, luminous quality of the subject's skin and the delicate rendering of her features and attire. The choice of peaches not only symbolizes the abundance of summer but also alludes to themes of youth and sensuality, common in the iconography of the period. The portrait's composition, with its gentle colors and light brushstrokes, reflects the Rococo style's emphasis on grace, lightness, and elegance.

As a leading female artist of her time, Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757) contributed significantly to the development of the pastel medium, elevating it to the same level of prestige as oil painting. Her works were highly sought after by collectors and patrons across Europe, and she was admitted to the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris as a member, an exceptional honor for a woman in the early 18th century.

"Summer: A Girl Holding Peaches" is not only a testament to Carriera's skill and the popularity of seasonal allegories in Rococo art but also an important piece that reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the era. The artwork remains an enduring example of Carriera's contribution to the Rococo movement and the history of pastel painting.
