Flora, the goddess of flowers, is shown with her young husband Zephyr, the west wind of springtime, who sports butterfly wings. The sculptor replicated this group later and also sculpted a single figure of Flora. This marble is thought to be the primary version, first shown at the Royal Academy in 1834.
