The statue, together with its pendant was found in 1794 by Robert Fagan on the Cesarini estate at Campo Jemini, near Tor Vajanica. Winter is portrayed as a woman, wrapped in her mantle and surrounded by five cupids shown hunting and fishing. The statue, to which the Neo-classical sculptor Massimiliano Laboureur added the head, can be dated to the middle of the 2nd c. AD.
