Circular engraving of figures planting stakes in a field beside a bare tree, with a church, river boats and a distant town behind them.

De twaalf maanden

Within a circular frame, figures work in a field in the foreground: one kneels to plant or bundle sticks while others tend rows of stakes near a tall bare tree. A church, a river with sailing boats and a distant town fill the background. The label MARTIVS and a small zodiac sign appear at top.
