Although this might appear to be a village landscape at first glance, a closer look reveals that it is a depiction of one of the seasons. Various activities that are associated with autumn are shown here, such as harvesting grapes, picking fruit, and fattening pigs. While the figures follow models by Jan Brueghel the Elder, they were not executed by him.
