About this work

Italian landscape with the occupations of the months of September and October. On the left the fruit harvest; on the right the grape harvest. On the left in the foreground ladders stand against apple trees. Men sit in the trees and pick the fruit. Under the trees the fruit is collected in baskets that are transported by donkey. In the middle the grapes are picked and on the right the wine barrels are being nailed shut. In the back right in a small building the grapes are pressed with the feet. On the top of the hill the ruin of a round temple. At the top left and right the signs of the zodiac: the constellation Libra and the constellation Scorpio.
