Description
While out walking, the sculptor's young son, Robert, narrowly escaped a viper as he tried to pick a bunch of grapes. This episode inspired the sculptor to create an allegorical work, the symbol of a carefree childhood threatened by the future. He used his own son as a model, ascribing his features to this plump little boy.
