About this work

A naked woman lies in the foreground, holding the cornucopia and a bundle of grain in her hands. Next to her stands a scale with fruit. She is the personification of Summer. In the background, human activities in summer: mowing grass and harvesting grain. The print has a Latin subtitle and is part of a four-part series on the seasons.
