Twelve Months: Labours of October, Engraving

An oval engraving from the Twelve Months series shows a man bending over a pig in the foreground while another works at a doorway of a stone house. A fiery scene and a distant town appear at left, with a zodiac sign above the clouds. Fine lines and dense cross-hatching model the figures and setting.
