"Oktober" is a small woodcut print by Dirck de Bray, dating back to the 17th century. The print depicts a winged figure, likely an angel, kneeling and tending to a flower pot in the foreground. The background features a simple landscape with a coastline and a few birds in flight. The inscription above the image, “October heeft xxxj. dagen”, translates to “October has 31 days”, indicating the print was part of a larger series representing the months of the year. This small, intricate artwork exemplifies de Bray's skill in capturing both detail and simplicity within a limited format.
