Augustus 17th century

This 17th century woodcut print, titled "Augustus / Nieuwen Stijl," is a charming depiction of a scene of rural life. A group of figures are depicted in the foreground, possibly engaged in a harvest celebration or a rustic gathering. This small print, measuring just 33 mm by 84 mm, likely served as an illustration in a book or calendar. The simple but expressive lines of the anonymous artist capture the essence of daily life in a time when agriculture was the dominant occupation.
