Zomer 1581 - 1656

"Zomer" (Summer) is an etching by Dutch artist Nicolaes de Bruyn, created between 1581 and 1656. It depicts a rural scene of farmers harvesting wheat, with the village in the background. The etching is part of a series of prints, which may have been part of a larger set illustrating the four seasons. The detailed depiction of the figures and landscape creates a sense of realism and offers insight into 17th-century Dutch rural life. The etching can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
