"In Alcazabilla street, next to the gardens of the Roman theater, there are two sculptures by Adrián Risueño, made in marble in 1951, and entitled respectively Allegory of Summer and Allegory of Winter. Calle Alcazabilla is unique in the city, it brings together in a few meters the entire history of Malaga and the strong weight of Malaga's culture, for housing the vast majority of the city's important museums and for uniting Malaga's past and present. Phoenician, Roman and Muslim Malaga all concentrated in one place."

The joy of winter, in white marble, on a stone pedestal, shows us a man with long beards covered with a tunic and a cold face. He does not remind me of the Roman or Greek god of winter, since he was represented with a bare torso and not covered.
