Skin, hair, dress are made of delicate petals and stems of spring flowers, written
out in the smallest details. The plants and flowers used are painted realistically and
brightly to indicate that it was a spring season. The cheeks and skin of the girl
consist of white and pink buds; her hair is a magnificent cap of many colorful
flowers, her dress is made of herbs and also flowers of green color. The nose is a
lily bud, the ear is a tulip, the eyes are a pair of solanaceae at the time of their
flowering, bright pink lips and chin are roses. The neck is decorated with a collar
of white flowers. It looks like Arcimboldo collage the fruits, flowers and plants
into a human profile. So, basically unlike other portrait artworks Spring’s face
doesn’t have a space but occupied things that made her all in all looks like a young
woman smiling. Thus, the whole image breathes freshness, youth and fragrance.
