"Juli" is a small, anonymous woodcut print, dated 1549-1591, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a man in a wide-brimmed hat, wielding a scythe, in a field of tall grasses. The figure, perhaps representing a farmer, is set against a landscape with a distant town and a crest in the clouds. The woodcut's miniature dimensions and detailed lines convey the artist's technical skill and illustrate the daily life of common people during the 16th century.
