Autumn

Pieter van der Heyden after Hans Bol

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a bustling autumn scene with various figures engaged in tasks. A rustic building with a thatched roof is shown to the left, with a person leaning out from a window. The horizon, higher up in the image, showcases distant hills and a windmill. The artwork features detailed, linear engravings capturing textures of clothing, trees, and buildings. The color scheme is monochromatic using shades of brown and gray. In the distance, beyond the immediate scene, small cottages, a church with a tall spire, and a village nestled among trees can be seen in the rolling countryside.
