Twaalf maanden

An engraved landscape labelled IUNIUS shows a group of figures seated and standing at a stone table beneath large trees on a rocky bank, with a dog at the left edge. A crab-shaped zodiac sign floats in the clouds above a distant town with a church spire, and a small figure works near a stream in the middle ground.
