Tapestry fragment woven in silk and wool, Brussels, ca. 1690-1720Tapestry fragment woven in silk and wool.
On the left underneath a thick group of trees is a seated bare-footed woman, representing Summer. She has a small bunch of twigs in her left hand and her right arm rests on a mass of flowers. Before her stands a woman, possibly Ceres, holding a sheaf of wheat in her arm. Her right arm rests on a plough-handle and on the ground behind her is a plough shovel and other agricultural implements. In the background behind her are men ploughing and sowing. Behind Summer are women sitting on the ground picking flowers.
