Juli 17th century

"Juli" is an anonymous woodcut from the 17th century depicting a scene of rural life. The small print, measuring 33mm x 85mm, shows four figures engaged in various agricultural tasks. In the foreground, a man uses a scythe to cut hay while another man holds a rake. A woman with a sickle stands nearby, while a figure leans against a tree, observing the work. The print’s stark black and white composition and detailed depiction of everyday life make it a fascinating example of early woodcut art.
