About this work

In the foreground Ceres with a sickle in her hands. In front of her on the ground vegetables and fruit. Next to her ears of corn. In the background scenes of summer: haymaking and harvesting farmers. Sheep being washed and shorn and a shepherd with his sheep. Above in the sky the three astrological signs of summer: Cancer, Leo and Virgo. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a four-part series on the four seasons.
