Four sisters for the four seasons, in long folk-style sarafans: golden-haired Spring in green, Summer in red with a long bright yellow plait, brown-haired Autumn in an orange skirt and yellow waistcoat, and white-haired Winter in light blue and blue. Lovely as a set on a shelf or for storytelling about the seasons.
