An Italian landscape depicts occupations during the months of July and August. At the centre is haying and mowing the grass (left) and harvesting the grain (right). In the centre, some farmers are just finishing their rest. At the top left and right, the signs of the zodiac are represented: the constellation Leo and the constellation Virgo.
