In 1674, 24 statues in white marble were commissioned by Colbert to decorate the Water Parterre. Representing the seasons, the male and female figures show attributes that enable us to identify them. Representing the Spring, also called Flora, an allegorical goddess holds a basket of flowers, symbol of the renewal of nature.
