Adriaen Collaert's "November," from his series "The Months," depicts a rural scene with a village in the background, a church tower, and figures in the foreground cutting wood. The print exemplifies the artistic conventions of the 16th century with its use of detailed linework and precise, realistic depiction of the figures and the landscape. This work, part of a larger set representing the calendar, speaks to the cyclical nature of life and work, highlighting the human connection to the natural world. "November," through its visual language, evokes a sense of change and preparation for the winter season.
