The Four Seasons: Summer

Pieter van der Heyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white illustration of people working in a field. The scene shows a group of approximately 10 people, some wearing hats, engaged in harvesting activities such as bending over to gather crops, drinking from a jug, and holding baskets of produce. One person on the left side of the image has their back to the viewer, wearing a hat and a shirt with billowy sleeves and shorts. The background features a village on a hillside with trees, a church steeple, a tent, and a sunburst in the sky. The illustration is surrounded by a border with Latin text at the bottom. The overall atmosphere suggests a rural setting during summer, as indicated by the title "The Four Seasons: Summer".
