Circular engraving of an August harvest: workers gather sheaves near a cart, a man stands by a stream, and a farmhouse sits among trees under a cloudy sky.

De twaalf maanden

A circular engraving shows a harvest landscape with a figure leaning over a wagon of sheaves and workers reaping grain in the foreground. A man in a hat stands at right beside a stream, and a sheaf-laden cart and a half-hidden figure lie in the field. Trees and a half-timbered farmhouse frame the rural scene.
