About this work
In the foreground the wine god Bacchus. Next to him the cornucopia and autumn fruits. In the background scenes of autumn: ploughing and sowing farmers, the grape harvest, the fruit harvest and the gathering of acorns for the pigs. Above in the sky the three astrological signs of autumn: Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a four-part series on the four seasons.
