The Twelve Months: July

Jan van de Velde II

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black-and-white etching depicting a scene set in July. A river runs through the center with a short stone bridge on the right side. On the left side, there are brick buildings with steeply pitched roofs; one building has a very tall, triangular roof. The foreground on the right features a group of people resting and working near the riverbank. The sky is filled with lines suggesting texture or movement. The word "Iulius" is written at the top center. There are lines of text at the bottom. The overall scene depicts a rural or village setting with people engaged in activities near a body of water.
