Circular engraving of a harvest scene with a loaded cart, reapers, resting figures, and a village with a church under a cloudy sky.

De twaalf maanden

An engraved circular scene of a summer harvest in a rolling landscape. A horse-drawn cart loaded with sheaves dominates the left, while a reaper in the foreground cradles grain and figures rest in the stubble, with a village and church beyond. The word AUGVSTVS appears above the circle.
