De luiaard ligt onder een boom tijdens het oogsten 1563 - 1579

"De luiaard ligt onder een boom tijdens het oogsten" (The Sloth Lies Under a Tree During the Harvest) is an etching from 1563-1579 by Philips Galle, a prominent Flemish printmaker. The artwork depicts a scene of workers harvesting in a field, with a slothful man lounging under a tree in the foreground. The detailed composition and use of perspective are characteristic of Galle's work, showcasing the artist's ability to capture both the beauty and the toil of daily life. This print likely served as a moralistic commentary on the virtues of hard work. The etching is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, and is a testament to Galle's artistic talent and the enduring appeal of his depictions of everyday life.
